| Summary | "Trees of the Northern United States" by A. C. Apgar is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide for the study, description, and identification of various tree species found in the northern regions of the United States, making it a valuable resource for students and educators alike. The text emphasizes the importance of trees and their characteristics, aiming to cultivate a deeper appreciation and understanding of the tree species native to and cultivated within this area. At the start of the book, the author outlines his goal of creating an accessible guide for teachers and students interested in botany, highlighting the need for practical studies using real natural objects. The preface discusses the limitations of traditional botanical texts, particularly in the study of tree parts that are more readily observable, such as leaves and bark, rather than fleeting blossoms. Apgar stresses the aim of developing observational skills and botanical vocabulary through hands-on learning, setting the stage for a structured exploration of tree anatomy, classification, and identification throughout the text.
