LIST OF TREES, &C. SECT. XIX. 



not noticed, being too insignificant to be ornamental, 

 though the fruit, or foliage, or both are. 



Such observations, as may be thought most useful 

 and necessary, will follow each list ; but as neither 

 ait the sorts, nor the varieties of each sort, could be 

 enumerated in such a work as this, so also the mi- 

 nutiae of propagation, &c. is more than could be 

 comprehended, or expected : Folio volumes (so co- 

 pious is the subject) have left a variety of plants 

 unnoticed, and much unsaid respecting cultivation. 

 For ordinary use, a greater enumeration, or more 

 enlarged particulars, would indeed have made this 

 book less valuable. If the selection and information 

 is good, (and pains have been taken in the business) 

 those for whom this book is designed, will have no 

 reason to complain. 



The names of trees, shrubs and flowers, are in 

 many cases various, as sometimes a scientific name 

 prevails, and at other times a vulgar or trivial ; and 

 of neither is there a perfect agreement, for of both 

 there is often more than one. The object therefore 

 here has been, to give that name by which each is 

 supposed best known. Different plants are some- 

 times called by the same name, and a nice discrimi- 

 nation is made by botanists, according to flower, leafy 

 &c. ; but these are no farther noticed than necessary. 

 Such descriptions are given of each, as cannot (it is 

 hoped) fail to identity the sort, when applied for to 

 any nurseryman. 



In the following lists of trees, the larger are 

 marked with an asterism ; and in the lists of shrubs 

 wc\(\ flowers, discrimination of size is made byflgures, 

 each being divided into four sorts, as to height ; the 

 lowest are marked No. 1. But it is ever to be un- 

 derstood, that the soil, and other circumstances, will 

 make a difference, as to stature ; so that the greater 

 may become the less, and the less the greater.
