Excerpt from Trees and Shrubs, Vol. 1: Illustrations of New or Little Known Ligneous Plants, Prepared Chiefly From Material at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
Tms work consists of a series of plates accompanied by brief descriptions of new or little known trees and shrubs of the northern hemisphere which may be expected to ¿ourish in the gardens of the United States and Europe, and those of special economic value or scientific interest. The material which serves as a basis for the work has been derived largely from the living collee tions and from the herbarium of the Arnold Arboretum. In the preparation of this work I have bad the assistance of a number of specialists who have signed the articles contributed by them. The plates are reproductions of original drawings made by Mr. O. E. Faxon. The first volume contains one hundred plates and the descriptions of two genera, forty-eight species, and a number of varieties new to science, and of a number of plants recently introduced into gardens.
