Note — Gray's Manual 7th Edition was used for plant determinations. 



Doubtless other areas of equal extent on country roads surpass 

 this in number of varieties but as a meeting place of plants from 

 different habitats it presents an interesting spot for study for here 

 are found : 



1. Conditions for successful germination of hemlocks. 



2. A distribution of plants somewhat determined by light con- 

 ditions. 



3. The formation of new colonies and continuation of old ones. 



4. An establishment of garden species among the native plants. 



5. Plant dissemination carried out by many different means. 

 Can we not find many of our highways still offering oppor- 

 tunities for study of plant life for our young people ?
