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 2 (1849) covers such species as chestnut, birch, elm, willow, ivy, yew and cedar. An index to the whole work is also provided.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe chestnut\u003cbr\u003e The horse chestnut\u003cbr\u003e The holly\u003cbr\u003e The birch\u003cbr\u003e The alder\u003cbr\u003e The elm\u003cbr\u003e The wych elm\u003cbr\u003e The hornbeam\u003cbr\u003e The hazel\u003cbr\u003e The walnut\u003cbr\u003e The lime-tree\u003cbr\u003e The barberry\u003cbr\u003e The tamarisk\u003cbr\u003e The strawberry-tree\u003cbr\u003e The spindle-tree\u003cbr\u003e The dogwood\u003cbr\u003e The oriental plane\u003cbr\u003e The occidental plane\u003cbr\u003e The buckthorn\u003cbr\u003e The privet\u003cbr\u003e The acacia\u003cbr\u003e The willow\u003cbr\u003e The elder\u003cbr\u003e The woodbine\u003cbr\u003e Wayfaring-tree\u003cbr\u003e The ivy\u003cbr\u003e The yew\u003cbr\u003e The fir tree\u003cbr\u003e The Scotch fir\u003cbr\u003e The cluster pine\u003cbr\u003e The stone pine\u003cbr\u003e The spruce fir\u003cbr\u003e The silver fir\u003cbr\u003e The larch\u003cbr\u003e The cedar of Lebanon\u003cbr\u003e The deodar\u003cbr\u003e The araucaria\u003cbr\u003e The juniper\u003cbr\u003e Index.\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":46266161627416,"sku":"9781108069151","price":37.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108069151i_ac47cf6e-d36f-415c-b133-17b12c877d8d.jpg?v=1696748768","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-forest-trees-of-britain-volume-2-paperback-9781108069151","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
