In this Index to Contents no attempt has been made to index all the species 

 and varietal names mentioned in this book, except when these have special 

 paragraphs given to them; otherwise, for instance, in the chapter on Annuals 

 and Biennials, will be found listed all the more worthy varieties; in the chapter 

 on Ferns, all the best Ferns; in the chapter on Pruning is given a full list of 

 nearly every plant which calls for pruning treatment, and so on throughout 

 all the chapters. Every species or family is treated in its own particular chap- 

 ter; hence, it was deemed unwise to string out a list of hundreds of names 

 which might serve but to confuse.
