species), in healthy condition. They should, therefore, be 

 renewed by layering or else be replaced. 



In the following enumeration, the writer has largely de- 

 pended on the information found in ]Mr. Lucius D. Davis' 

 volume on " Ornamental Shrubs " as well as on other rec- 

 ognized authorities and nursery men's catalogues, supple- 

 menting this by his own personal studies in the field. 



An appropriate classification of shrubs from the decora- 

 tive point of view is difficult, if at all possible, since fohage, 

 flower and fruit combine in making decorative value. We 

 have therefore chosen a mixed alphabetical and botanical 

 scheme, grouping together the seven or eight famiUes which 

 furnish the bulk of ornamental shrubs, and following these 

 groups b}- a merely alphabetical list of the single genera 

 containing ornamental shrubs. Shrubs which come from gen- 

 era containing tree species have for the most part been dis- 

 cussed in pag2s 213-322. Thi' numbers in parenthesis 

 preceding the species n^m? coincide with those of the 

 species described in the following pages.
