Flowers of the Field (1851), one of several works originally published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, is also reissued in this series. First published by the Society between 1847 and 1849, this two-volume botanical guide for amateur enthusiasts focuses on the trees found in British woodland. Johns describes each species, noting also pests and diseases, uses for the wood, and associated myths and legends. The work is noteworthy for its meticulous engravings of leaves, seeds and blossom, and of the trees in natural settings. Volume 1 (1847) provides an introduction to the botanical terms used. The species covered in this volume include oak, ash, beech and poplar.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The oak\u003cbr\u003e The ilex\u003cbr\u003e The sycamore\u003cbr\u003e The common or field maple\u003cbr\u003e The ash\u003cbr\u003e The box\u003cbr\u003e The hawthorn\u003cbr\u003e The blackthorn\u003cbr\u003e The cherry\u003cbr\u003e The bird-cherry\u003cbr\u003e The mountain ash\u003cbr\u003e The white-beam\u003cbr\u003e Wild service-tree\u003cbr\u003e The pear\u003cbr\u003e The apple\u003cbr\u003e The beech\u003cbr\u003e The poplar\u003cbr\u003e The white poplar\u003cbr\u003e The grey poplar\u003cbr\u003e The black poplar\u003cbr\u003e The trembling poplar\u003cbr\u003e Foreign poplars.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Botany%20\u0026amp;%20plant%20sciences%20%5BPST%5D%22\"\u003ePST\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266166051096,"sku":"9781108069144","price":35.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108069144i_afe9c30e-a4cc-4e9d-990b-293f58c290a0.jpg?v=1696748720","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-forest-trees-of-britain-volume-1-paperback-9781108069144","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
