or other firm soil without having the surface annually dug, or kept clear of 

 weeds or grass. We have avoided most of the species of such genera as 

 Cytisus, Genista, Colutea, Ribes, Rosa, &c., which not only require dug soil, 

 but are short-lived, or are very apt to die off. To those who do not require 

 such lists for cemeteries or churchyards, they will be useful as indicating the 

 principal permanent trees and shrubs adapted for pleasure-grounds, which are 

 sold in British nurseries. The number might have been increased, but we 

 have judged it best to be comparatively select. 



Our classification of the trees and shrubs is founded on their different degrees 

 of suitableness for burial-grounds ; and we have given references to our Arbore- 

 tum Britminicum, where portraits of the entire tree, and copious details, bo- 

 tanical, descriptive, historical, geographical, &c., will be found ; and to the 

 Encyclapcedia of Trees and Shrubs, which is an abridgement of that work, in 

 which engravings will be found of every species, and such details as are neces- 

 sary as guides to their culture, management, and uses in plantations. We have 

 added after each species the height which it generally attains in the climate of 

 London, and the price of good plants in the London nurseries when one 

 plant only is ordered ; when several are wanted, of course the price will be 

 lower, according to the number. We can vouch for their being obtained 

 correct to the names, and at the prices mentioned, at the Fulham Nursery.
