by Ida A. Keller and Stewardson Brown, which gives the locali- 

 ties of many kinds of trees for the southern half of the State. 



The order of presentation of, and the botanical names in, the 

 list are those of Sargent's "Manual of the Trees of Xorth 

 America/' the most recent standard work upon the general sub- 

 ject. Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., the publishers of this ex- 

 cellent work, have kindly permitted the use from it of the en- 

 gravings that are herein presented. 



It is the expectation that this list will stimulate the readers to 

 study the kinds of trees in their localities and send in information 

 as to any kinds in the list and add new ones wherever they are 

 found. In short, this list is a guide in the further canvass of the 

 State in the immediate interest of the trees now found in Xew 

 Jersey, and will, it is hoped, ultimately aid in the very important 

 work of developing a genuine systematic and sane silviculture in 

 the State. 



The writer lays no claim to originality and has felt free to draw 

 from all the various sources of information upon forestry that may 

 be found in the geological reports and those of the State Board of 

 Agriculture and the Horticultural Society. It is a pleasure to note 

 that the writers of these various papers are among the leading 

 authorities upon forestry matters, and include Smock, Rothrock, 

 Gifford, Hollick, Meier, Kiimmel and Pinchot, the last-named 

 being now in charge of the United States Forestry Service. A list 

 of these papers is given near the end of this bulletin, followed by a 

 brief digest of the various legislative enactments relating to for- 

 estry. 



In the list that follows, the botanical name of the species is first 

 given, followed by some of its common names in the order of their 

 popularity so far as the writer is able to judge of this matter. The 

 important item of distribution is next considered and special locali- 

 ties are given by counties, when the kind in question is not gen- 

 erally found throughout the State. Following this are extracts 

 from various papers that are in the reports, above mentioned, 

 and within the reach of all who are desirous of following the 

 matter further. 



Lack of space prevents a description of each species, but with 

 the aid of the twenty-five engravings it is hoped that the reader may 

 be able to add to his information concerning New Jersey trees. 

 The more important kinds are marked with a star and exotic 

 species are printed in capitals.
