TREES 



Native and naturalized, found in the Northeastern United 

 States (Maine to Virginia, and west to the Missis- 

 sippi), classified by their LEAVES. 



A very few of the most familiar cultivated foreign trees, 

 even though not naturalized, are put into this section, to 

 facilitate identification. Those shrubs that are sometimes 

 arboreal are here put in parenthesis, and their descriptions 

 must be looked for under Sf Shrubs."
