Such a list will be of little value to the expert gardener and to the property owner who has made an exhaustive study of plant uses and adaptations. It is hoped, however, that this will serve as a ready reference to those who have no authoritative source of information and whose limited opportunity for observation has not enabled them to be familiar with a wide range of plant materials This list is not a complete study of this subject. The aim of the writer is to provide the property owner and the student, in a compact form, with the essential facts concerning the correct use of the more prominent species of trees, shrubs, vines and perennials. The question is so often asked, ‘‘What plants can I use for a specific purpose?”’ This booklet will place immediately at the disposal of such persons, a list of plants from which species and varieties may be selected. While the range of material is sufficient to meet the requirements of the average property owner, it can, however, be supplemented with additional varieties which should be selected with much greater care. This information is the result of a number of years of study in the work of professional landscape architecture. Many of these lists have been compiled, modified and checked by competent gardeners on large estates whose practical experience has enabled them to provide the writer with information of exceptional value. In many of these groups of plants there are species which can be included in more than one group. In many instances, species which may be used in more than one group, but which are especially desirable in only one group, are not included in other groups. It is to be assumed that a number of these plants in the different groups may be transferred to one group or another by persons who have acquired sufficient expert knowledge to be familiar with the characteristics of the plants under many different conditions. The correct selection of plants for various purposes is but a part of the success for landscape plantings. Not only should we know the correct use of plants as indicated in this list, but their landscape value from the standpoint of their peculiar adaptation to design and composition should be carefully studied. The information in this booklet should be supple- mented with additional information procured thru descriptions in nursery catalogues, encyclopedias, and garden books. { The writer is indebted for many valuable suggestions contained in this volume to Mr. G. D. Cooper and to Mr. H. L. Flint, who have carefully checked and revised the original manuscript. Area to which This List is Adapted The plant materials included in this list are well adapted to use in the northern half of Ohio and in regions having approximately the same growing season. This may be said to include, roughly, the Atlantic coast area from Maine to New York. All of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to an elevation of 1500 feet above sea level, Northern Illinois, Southern Michigan and Southern Wisconsin. GENERAL LANDSCAPE PLAN Lee 10.
