INTRODUCTION

The plant lists compiled in this booklet are intended to serve as an
example of classification of plant material according to special pur-
poses. These lists are not complete — that is, they do not describe
each species in full, nor do they include all native or imported plants
of value for ornamental purposes. The author has sought to list in
general only the species that are reasonably common in cultivation,
and may be reasonably expected to grow under average ordinary con-
ditions.

The plants thus listed are to be found in use for ornamental plant-
ing in that part of of the United States north of the Oihio River and
east of the Missouri River. The degree of success with many of
these plants varies in different localities. The Ericaceae, including
many of the broad-leaved evergreen plants in common use in eastern
states, are without exception unsuccessful in the limestone soil region
of the Middle West. The extreme climatic variations in the same
section reduce the number of dependable coniferous evergreens to a
dissatisfying minimum.

The author has, therefore, distinguished those plants that have
proved to be reasonably successful and are under cultivation by sev-
eral nurserymen throughout that portion of the United States included
in this list. Plants that are considered thus generally in use are marked
with an asterisk (*).

Plants that are not so marked may be very successful in a num-
ber of localities that are widely separated. It is left to the reader to
determine whether any particular species that is not designated as gen-
erally hardy, but which he desires, is successful in his particular
locality. This may be determined by personal observation or by in-
quiry of a nurseryman or landscape architect.

Complete description of the plants listed is impossible in the limited
space available. It is necessary for anyone who is unfamiliar with
the plants named to supplement this list by personal observation the
year round, and by reference to Bailey's Encyclopedia of Horticul-
ture, various nursery descriptive catalogues and books on trees, shrubs
and flowers.
