LIST OF NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS GROWING AT 



THE CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM, 



OTTAWA, JULY, 1895. 



By W. T. Mai oun. 



Interesting and numerous as are the species and varieties of trees 

 and shrubs fron foreign countries now growing at the Central Experi- 

 mental Farm, which by their beauty and peculiarities of form, leaf, 

 flower and fruit attract so much attention from visitors, it must be a 

 satisfaction to Canadians to know that a large number of our native 

 trees and shrubs play no small part in the pleasing effect produced by 

 the tasteful grouping of the various species and varieties on the orna~ 

 mental grounds. In the arboretum many of our native trees and 

 shrubs may now be studied with much profit by those interested in 

 botany and while more species are yet to be added, the local botanist 

 will see at the Farm many that are not to be found in the Ottawa 

 district. 



It was thought that a list of the native trees and shrubs growing at 

 the Central Experimental Farm, in cultivation or otherwise, would 

 prove of Mime value to the members of the Ottawa Field Naturalists 

 Club, and the accompanying list is herewith submitted. 



Tile classification is according to Prof. M icoun's "Catalogue ot 



' ' inadian Plants." The distribution of each species is given ; whether it 



is a tree or shrub ; its hardiness at Ottawa; and when ornamental 



mention is made of the fact. A few woody climbers are also included. 



There will be found in the list the names of 178 species and varieties.
