Hardy Woody Plants 



By Frank A. Waugh and Charles H. Thompson 



Hardy trees, shrubs, and vines are a very important feature of our 

 civilization. Country roadsides and village streets are planted with trees; 

 parks and playgrounds must have their trees and shrubs; but, most of all, 

 the home grounds are not considered quite respectable unless trees, shrubs, 

 and vines are used to soften and civilize the architecture and the topogra- 

 phy. Hardy woody plants have been under study for sixty-five years on 

 the grounds of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and this bulletin 

 is intended to make some of the results of these studies available.
