This food is carried by the inner bark to all growing parts of the tree, even down to the root tips The first edition of Forest Trees of TexasHow to Know Them was assembled by W. R. Matoon and C. B. Webster in 1928. The sections, Trees as Mankinds Friends, Studying a Tree, Other Texas Trees, drawings of twigs, leaves and fruits, and the glossary were incorporated into the fourth and fifth editions by S. L. Frost and D. A. Anderson. The sixth and seventh editions were edited by H. E. Weaver and W. A. Smith, respectively. Some of the drawings used in this publication were made available by the United States Forest Service. The eighth edition was revised and edited by John A. Haislet to conform with the nomenclature in Check List of Native and Naturalized Trees of the United States (Including Alaska), Agriculture Handbook No. 41, prepared under the direction of the United States Forest Service Tree and Range Plant Committee.
