Excerpt from Winter Botany a Companion Volume, to the Author's Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening When my Plant Materials pocket manual was issued, in 1917, an, unusually full account was given of characters that are not mentioned in the usual handbooks, but the keys were based in large part on differences used by the old herbalists, position and other peculiarities of the foliage. The key of the present volume utilizes leaf-scar and bud differences in the same manner. Because the keys of the first volume are as available for coniferous evergreens in winter as in summer, this important group of trees is not considered here at all; but angiospermous evergreens and the few deciduous conifers are treated now in even greater fullness. To avoid unnecessary repetition, fam ily descriptions are not repeated here, and the generic charac ters are confined to the direct purpose of the book.
