"Dedicated to every man, woman, and child who plants a tree."  This lovely ode to the tree, published when Pack was president of The American Tree Association, provides a beautifully comprehensive look at all variety of trees with charmingly written information that is even more important today than when the book was released 100 years ago. 

"From every point of view, shade trees are of vast importance to the dweller in city, town or country.  In beauty, in comfort and in public health the shade tree is the indispensable and never failing friend of man."
