Description
Julia Ellen Rogers wrote this tree book for the Little Nature Library, first copyrighted in 1917 and published by Doubleday, Page in 1923 with forty-eight illustrations, sixteen in color. It begins with the life of the trees. Then it sorts the trees worth knowing into companies: the nut trees, the water-loving trees of poplar and willow, and trees with showy flowers and fruits. The wild relatives of the orchard trees have their part too.
Later parts take the pod-bearing trees, the deciduous trees with winged seeds, the cone-bearing evergreens from pine to sequoia, and the palms. Rogers, who had written The Tree Book and other nature guides, writes to make the reader know a tree at sight and love it after. The colored plates of hickory, beech, and dogwood carry the teaching into the eye.
