Plants suitable for the Warmer Parts of the United Kingdom. 



Enquiries are frequently made at Kew by those interested in 

 horticulture as to the hardiness of particular species, the merits of 

 which have been casually brought to their notice. To meet the 

 needs and extend the knowledge of correspondents, it seems 

 therefore advisable to draw up a compact list of such plants as are 

 known to be too tender to survive permanently out-of-doors in the 

 British Islands except in the milder localities, such as Cornwall, 



Wester 



West 



ii 



list, which is given below, makes no pretence at being exhaustive. 



The species it includes are, however, all known to be in cultivation 



out-of-doors at present in one or other of the localities indicated ; 



the hardiness of all of them, under the climatic conditions that 



have prevailed during the winter and spring months of recent 



years, has thus been tested. It does not follow that all of these 



species will prove permanently hardy in any of the localities, or 



that any of them will, even under normal conditions, thrive 



.•qually well in all of the localities mentioned. Jhit. subject to 



the limitations which those who find occasion to consult it are 



competent to apply, the list may prove useful to those who are 



engaged in forming out-of-doors collections in the milder parts of 

 the kingdom. *
