A SELECTED PLANT LIST FOR GENERAL USE 



Any of the following plants will succeed under ordinary conditions, that is 

 to say, in fairly good garden soil where it is not wet nor very dry, and in a 

 location which gets a fair amount of sunlight. Many of the varieties mentioned 

 in this list will also be found recommended elsewhere for planting under 

 special conditions where they will succeed as well as for general purposes. 

 The object of including them here is to give a wider choice to the fortunate 

 planter who has no unusual conditions to contend with. This list will be found 

 useful also for reference as to the size of plants at maturity.
