Download or read book Forests and Trees Classic Reprint written by B. J. Hales and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forests and Trees This book has been written to assist in impressing upon the young the value of our forests and to give them some appreciation of what is being done, as well as of what must yet be done, in order to preserve them. It is not a handbook on forestry, but contains interesting information which, it is hoped, will tend to create a healthy public opinion regarding the use and care of trees. While the book is really the expression of that appreciation of trees which comes only from long and intimate acquaintance, yet the literature on the subject has been freely used, and the author wishes to acknowledge the help received from the following: Sargent's "Manual of the Trees of North America"; Britton's "North American Trees"; Fernow's "Care of Trees"; Britton and Brown's Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and Canada; "Gray's New Manual of Botany" by Robinson and Fernald; Rydberg's "Flora of the Rocky Mountains and Adjacent Plains"; Coulter and Nelson's "Rocky Mountain Flora;" and Macoun's "Catalogue of Canadian Plants." Very particular mention should also be made of the many excellent publications of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior; and special thanks are due to Mr. R. H. Campbell, Director of Forestry, for valuable suggestions and assistance, as well as for a very careful and suggestive reading of the proof sheets by the staff of the Forestry Branch.

This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Trees and Forest Scenery IN the ensuing pages I have made simple inquiries into the sources of beauty and at tractiveness in American forest trees and sylvan scenery. In the concluding chapter, by way of contrast, I have given a short ac count of the esthetic effects of the artificial forests of Europe. The system which shaped these forests and gave them their present ap pearance should, however, possess more than a comparative interest for Americans. It has, in fact, a further connection, though a slight one, with the subject, and therefore requires a few words of explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Forest Trees The commercial timbers of this country are divided into two classes, hardwoods and softwoods. The division is for convenience, and is sanctioned by custom, but it is not based on the actual hardness and softness of the different woods. The division has, however, a scientific basis founded on the mechanical structures of the two classes of woods, and there is little disagreement among either those who use forest products or manufacture them, or those who investigate the actual structure of the woods themselves, as to which belong in the hardwood and which in the softwood class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Trees IN presenting this volume, the author is aware that there are several excellent books, dealing with one phase or another of tree life, already before the public. It is believed, how ever, that there is still need for an all-round book, adapted to the beginner, which gives in a brief and not too technical way the most important facts concerning the identification, structure and uses of our more common trees, and Which considers their habits, enemies and care both when grow ing alone and when growing in groups or forests. In the chapters on the identification of trees, the aim has been to bring before the student only such characters and facts as shall help him to distinguish the tree readily during all seasons of the year. Special stress is laid in each case on the most striking peculiarities. Possible confusion with other trees of similar appearance is prevented as far as possible through comparisons with trees of like form or habit. Only such information is given concerning the structure and requirements of trees as will enable the reader better to understand the subsequent chapters. In the second half of the book, practical application is made of the student's general knowledge thu's acquired, and he is acquainted with the fundamental principles of planting, care, forestry, wood identification and nature study. The author recognizes the vastness of the field he is attempting to cover and the impossibility of even touching.

This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry and Arboriculture in Massachusetts Ladies and Gentlemen, - It has been concisely stated in the report of a forest commission of a neighboring State that a wise economy in the use of the natural resources of a country should recognize the fact that certain regions of the earth's surface are adapted by nature to remain covered with forests, and that any attempt to devote such regions to other purposes can only be followed by failure and disaster. Through the work on the forests of the United States, published in connection with the census of 1880, t it is now possible to form a correct estimate of the immense economic value of our forests. In this volume full accounts are given of the four hundred trees which make up our forest flora, and nearly every one is shown to possess some special value or adaptation to special surroundings. A knowledge, too, of the physical importance of the forests, as shown by a careful study of the effect produced by their removal, both in this country and in Europe, is becoming widely disseminated.

Download or read book Pennsylvania Trees Classic Reprint written by J. S. Illick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania Trees Trees are among the commonest and most conspicuous objects of nature. The numerous products derived from them are very use ful, often indispensable. In all ages trees and grasses have been the most important products of the soil. A dense and valuable tree growth covered originally almost the entire area of Pennsylvania. About 278 species of trees and shrubs are native to this State, of which number 125 are trees. The number of native representatives in the present forests is the same as in the original forest. While the number of representatives remains the same, yet one finds a marked difference in the degree of their abundance, and in their age, size, form, density, quality, value, and productivity. The original forest of the State was large, dense, and extremely productive. The present. Forests are small, Open, and very unproductive. Each gener ation of mankind has seen a smaller, more open, and less productive generation of forests. It is not a prophecy, but the statement of a fact, when we say that the source of our timber supply is becom ing an acute and vital question. Fast-vanishing forests and ever rising lumber prices are couriers of this fact. The Federal and some State Governments have already inaugurated policies to offset the present destructive tendency in our forests by starting constructive work. To date no state has made a greater advance in forestry than Pennsylvania. She has, however, just started on this useful mission. The men who are directing her forest. Policies are endeavoring to lay a substantial foundation upon which a stable superstructure may be reared. In order to accomplish this it is necessary to have the co-operation of the citizens of the State, especially the woodland owners and managers. Forestry needs the support of public senti ment. No substantial and permanent advance is insured until our citizens understand the fundamentals of forestry and can distin guish the important timber trees from the inferior weed trees. It is hoped that the sphere of usefulness of this bulletin, will not be limited to woodland owners and managers, but will extend to lay men, students, and botanists.
