PEBFACE TO THIED EDITION 



The second edition of "Hardy Ornamental Flowering 

 Trees and Shrubs " having been sold out, a steady demand 

 for the book necessitates the printing of a third edition. 



Advantage has been taken of this reprint to thoroughly 

 revise the work, and include such species as have been 

 introduced since the publication of the first edition. 

 Several useful chapters regarding shrubs — their propa- 

 gation, planting, and general management — are likewise 

 added, as also the natural order to which each belongs.
