Abstract
OF the numerous works dealing with trees and shrubs, there are few of pocket size which cater specially for the needs of the amateur botanist and garden enthusiast. Prof. McMinn's small manual is to be welcomed accordingly. Though intended primarily for use on the pacific seaboard of North America from British Columbia southward, the inclusion of a large number of cultivated trees will extend its sphere of usefulness. It will not, however, be of special value in Great Britain.
