SECOND EDITION. 



This second and revised edition of Dr. J. T. Stewart's paper on 

 shade trees, indigenous shrubs and vines, was written by request of 

 the Scientific Association of Peoria, and read before it December 

 22d, 1882. 



It is a guide to tree culture in this city. On account of its in 

 trinsic value it is published by and under the auspices of the Asso- 

 ciation for the Benefit of the City and Surrounding Country. 



It is hoped that all will read and appreciate it, as so much val- 

 uable and practical information on this subject cannot be obtained 

 from any other source.
