The American Woods: Exhibited By Actual Specimens And With Copious Explanatory Text, Part 12
The American Woods: Exhibited By Actual Specimens And With Copious Explanatory Text, Part 12 Summary:Plates Included Year: 1911 PREFACE TO PART XII. In Part XII AMERICAN WOODS we have a continuation of the trees of the Atlantic and Central States, and several rare and particularly interesting ones are included. We regret that unavoidable circumstances have delayed its appearance considerably more than anticipated, when we closed the work on Part XI, but such has been the course of fate. We have thought it advisable to include in this Part the same Key based upon Leaves which appeared in Part XI, as it covers also the species of this Part. The desirability of general indexes, both vernacular and botanical, covering all of the series of AMERICAN WOODS to date, has become the more apparent as the work has progressed, and we have prepared such indexes for the close of the present volume (pp. 57 to 64). Following them (p. 65) we give a brief announcement of our other lines, thinking they may be of interest to those who may desire to form a more intimate knowledge of botanical and other characters or of wood-technology. For courtesies which have been of material assistance in the fieldwork, in collecting the woods for Part XII, we wish to mention with gratitude Prof. Wm. Trelease, Director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, whose ever interest in the progress of AMERICAN WOODS, is a source of pleasure and encouragement to its author. We gratefully acknowledge, too, assistance kindly rendered by Prof. C. D. Beadle, Mr. T. B. Harbison, Dr. K M. Glatfelter, Mr" G. W. Letterman, Mr. A. Lincoln Hough, Mr. Francis Kiefer and Mr. H. A. Brinkerhoff. It is our purpose now to take up the interesting subtropical trees of Florida. Many of them range extensively through the West Indies, Mexico and even Central and South America. Several of them are of great commercial importance, though as the chief source of supply is within the tropics few people think of them as trees found native within the L'nited States. While engaged in this work.it is our purpose, as heretofore, to make photographs of such scenes and objects as we may find particularly illustrative of habits of growth and other characteristic features of the various trees.
