In his preface Alfred C. Hottes says The Book of Trees is meant for the amateur, the gardener and the nurseryman, and treats trees from a horticulturist's point of view rather than a botanist's. He aims to cover the commonest trees worth growing in the United States, following Rehder's Manual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs and Bailey's Manual of Cultivated Plants for the botany.
Chapters shown in the contents include Why We Plant Trees, What Is a Tree?, Evergreens, Trees of American History, Regions of the United States, Street Trees, Nut Culture, Transplanting, Feeding Trees, Pruning, Tree Repair, Tree Pests, Propagation, Important Deciduous Trees, Important Coniferous Trees and a Table of Trees, with lists for Arbor Days and indexes.
