Notes. 



\. The Kentucky Coffee Tree is native in the Minnesota River Valley, but much 

 farther north will necessarily be somewhat unreliable. Valuable for its tropical 

 appearing foliage. 



2. Besides the species of Crataegus mentioned, there are several other native 

 varieties which will -well repay cultivation. 



3. Several varieties of native and imported willows and poplars are found to 

 give good satisfaction in plantations, but are locally found to be subject to 

 disease. Care should be taken in selecting their positions if used for ornamental 

 purposes, as they are naturally associated with pools or streams of water. 



4. A dwarf, spreading evergreen of much value in suitable locations.
