A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 

 TREES AND SHRUBS 



THE following is a list of the chief botanical and horticultural works of 

 which use has been made in preparing the present work. It has been 

 thought worth while to print it here as a guide to the most important 

 literature dealing, in particular, with hardy trees and shrubs. It might, 

 f course, be indefinitely amplified, but will, nevertheless, serve to direct 

 the attention of those who desire to make up a collection of works on this 

 fascinating branch of natural history to the best and most useful of them.
