INDEX 



The Index may not appear at first so complete as the scope of the hook 

 warrants ; but as almost all the various chapters contain lists, and the 

 tables at the end of the book are in alphabetical order, anything more 

 lengthy would be needless repetition. The name of tree or shrub 

 required may be easily found. Thus the vines are in the chapter 

 '^ Hardy Climbing Shrubs," and so on. This arrangement has been 

 followed throughout.
