| Summary: | "Guide to Southern Trees describes the more than 350 arborescent species indigenous to that great region in the United States lying south of the Mason and Dixon's line, the Ohio River, and the extension of the Missouri-Arkansas boundary to the western limits of the souther forests. Minimum use is made of technical terminology. Included are notes of unusual interest and historical significance pertaining to many of the trees described, together with pertinent information on the usage of valuable products other than lumber derived from the leaves, flowers, fruit, wood, or bark of all of them. It is hoped that teachers of biology or natural science, nature leaders, and amateur naturalists will find this book especially useful in the examination and identification of southern trees."--Preface, pages vii-viii
