Jn The i-ei»(»rt of the sen-etary of tlie State lioard of Aiiricultui-e for 

 IMS. there apjieared a Inief and i)o})uhir account of the ti-ees and some 

 of the shrubs then <i,rowinii- on tlie jironnds of the Aoricnltural T'ollejic. 



Oiu' thousand "se])arates"' were printed for the use of our students 

 and otheis interested in tlie sul)ject. This sujiply was exlmusted in less 

 than ten years. In 1SS7. Fi-ofessor Hailey ]u-inled for use (»f his classes, 

 a list of ornamental ]»lants which are hard.\ in .Michigan. 



A period of thirteen years has wrouj^ht many chanjics at M. A. C in 

 the number and vaiiety of ti-ees and shrubs as well as in othei" iesi»ecis. 

 The scientific and the common names have been arranjied aljduibetically 

 in one list, and the location of one or more trees and shrubs of each kind 

 lias been ])ointed out. and when the spot has been reached, the student 

 will usually find the object jdainly labeled. The nouMMiclat ure is 

 chiefly that of "Index Kewensis."' — a W(»ik (•onsistin<i of four larj^e 

 (piartos ]>ublislied under the su])ervision td' the <»tlicers of the Iv<*w 

 (Maidens. Fn^land. Itoubtless there may be eirors in the list of names 

 as here ;j;iveii. owin^i to the small size of some of the woody plants, their 

 failui-e to jiroduce llowers or fruit and for other reasons. 



Those which liav<' been lonjj; tested and found hai'dy and otherwise 

 desirable for jdantin^- about a home or in |)ui)lic }>rounds have been 

 marked with a". As many otheis have been tried in places perhaps 

 unfavorable on account of soil, elevation. ex])osure. or for other reasons, 

 it may not be fair to coiKh'inii or discard all of those not starred.
