To the student or layman I recommend this book most highly.\" - Farida A. Wiley, American Museum of Natural HistoryNature lovers will welcome this authoritative, easily accessible guide to all woody plants - trees, shrubs, or vines - both wild and cultivated, commonly found in the Northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada. The book omits lengthy technical descriptions in favor of easy-to-use keys covering such characteristics as leaves, twigs, bark, buds, seeds, stems, fruit or fruit stalks, and other identifying traits. For this revised edition, Dr. Graves added a Winter Key, which, together with the Summer Key, facilitates identification throughout the year.With the help of these keys, a section of \"shortcuts\" for the novice, a glossary, and over 300 detailed, accurate pen-and-ink drawings, even beginners will be able to quickly and accurately identify a wide variety of plants. Rigorous enough for the scientists, yet easily accessible to the layman, this book is the ideal resource for naturalists, hikers, amateur botanists, gardeners, homeowners - anyone who wants to know more about the trees and shrubs of the Northeast.\"An outstanding feature of the book is the more than 300 pen-and-ink drawings by a noted botanical artist, Maud H. Purdy. It is a real pleasure to view page after page of these original and excellent drawings reproduced from copper plates.\" - Scientific Monthly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938069512480,"sku":"NEW0486272583","price":11.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/812UYFLdHQL.jpg?v=1783112755","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/illustrated-guide-to-trees-and-shrubs-a-handbook-of-the-woody-plants-of-the-northeastern-united-states-and-adjacent-canadarevised-edition-0486272583","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
