The book highlights the contributions of Alfred Rehder, a self-taught German taxonomist who became the curator of the Herbarium at the Arnold Arboretum. Initially hired for menial tasks, his exceptional skills led to the creation of "Rehder's Manual," a comprehensive guide on cultivated trees and shrubs in North America. This reprint features the second edition from 1940, showcasing Rehder's significant impact on botany and horticulture.
