PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



THE first edition of the Hand-list of Trees and Shrubs 

 (excluding Coniferae) grown in the Kew Arboretum 

 (Part I., 1894; Part II., 1896) has been for some time 

 exhausted. 



It is now republished in one volume after having been 

 carefully revised and enlarged by the addition of the 

 names of numerous species which have been added to the 

 collection since the first edition was prepared. 



The number of hardy shrubs and trees now enumerated 

 amounts to about 4,500.

 Kew, Nov., 1902.
