With the view of rendering the present work useful to those unacquainted with the science of botany, the author has throughout aimed at the utmost simplicity in language and arrangement.
The alphabetical mode has therefore been adopted in reference both to the Genera and Species. By means of this, any Conifer, of which the name is known, may be immediately found.
For the use of those who possess some botanical knowledge, a diagnostic table is prefixed to the volume.
