Forestry is remarkable for the diversity of skills it requires, and in this handbook the author has given careful consideration to each of them. Nursery work, planting and tending woodlands, protecting them against fire, pests and disease, and the ultimate felling and marketing of timber, are all fully dealt with. ... The needs of all the various trees commonly grown in our forests are described, together with the treatment of ornamental trees in our parks and gardens. Allowance is made for regional differences of soil and climate [and] a chapter is devoted to the fundamentals of tree growth and structure.
