88 Eleventh Annual Report 



A county map has been inserted on page 2 to assist in locating 

 the records of the distribution of the species. 



Economic uses. — Under this head the physical appearance and 

 quahties of the wood of each species and its principal uses are 

 given. Other commercial products which may be obtained from 

 our trees are also mentioned. It will be noted that no mention is 

 made of the dry distillation of wood, because at present it is not 

 used for that purpose in this State. All species of trees are used 

 more or less for fuel in this State, but only the principal ones are 

 named. 



Horticultural value. — The silvicultural qualities of only such 

 species as are adapted to ornamental, shade tree or forest planting 

 are discussed. The planting, spacing and management of such 

 trees as are adapted to forest planting are discussed in detail. 



Drawings. — The drawings have been made by Miss Minnie Ells- 

 worth Bartlett of Indianapolis. All were made from herbarium 

 specimens taken from Indiana trees, which are deposited in the 

 Deam herbarium, except the fruit of the genera, Juglans, Hicoria, 

 Malus and Crataegus, which were drawn from fresh mature fruit. 

 The drawings are all natural size unless otherwise indicated. 



Acknowledgments. — Material for the preparation of this work 

 has been gathered from field work in sixty-two out of the ninety- 

 two counties of the State at different times during the past fifteen 

 years. All publications bearing on the distribution of Indiana 

 trees have been freely used, and credit is here acknowledged. The 

 general range of the species and the character and qualities of the 

 wood have in the greater part been taken from the works of Britton, 

 Hough and Sargent, to whom indebtedness is acknowledged. 



My thanks are tendered to the Board of Forestry for the privilege 

 of undertaking this work and for services rendered. The most 

 grateful acknowledgment is accredited Prof. Stanley Coulter, who 

 read the manuscript, for inspiration, many valuable suggestions 

 and criticisms. The favor of having the genera Malus and Cratea- 

 gus written by the well known specialist, W. W. Eggleston, is appre- 

 ciated not only by the author but will be by the readers of this 

 book. The author wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. N. 

 L. Britton in examining critical sr mens; of E. B. Williamson in 

 reading manuscript; of E. J. Gi-.i.es and W. B. VanGorder in 

 furnishing material. Last, but not least, I wish to acknowledge 

 the assistanre of Stc^lla M. Denm, my wife, in field and clerical 

 worlc.
