The Native and Naturalized Trees of Illinois

Abstract

In presenting this book to the people of Illinois, it has been the authors' aim to furnish not merely a manual of the trees of the State but to give as complete an account of them as our present knowledge would permit. Consequently, the reader will find in the following pages not only a means for identifying trees but also the important facts concerning their distribution, their history, their uses, their past and present importance in commerce and industry, and many other things.
