I couldn't find the original article, so I'm posting followup to this one.

Vickie-

It's too late for Christmas now, but the reference that I use is by 
Michael Dirr, entitled "Manual of Woody landscape Plants, their culture
and Propogation". Actually, I'm not sure of the title, but it is a large,
300 page Green paperback that includes line drawings of distinguishing
characteristics along with a good discussion of how to grow each tree
and their uses. No color pictures, but a good reference.
