In giving this list, I have given the pronunciation, as I have had 

 frequent inquiries from our numerous horticultural commissioners and 

 inspectors regarding the same. In the names contained in these lists, 

 the long English sound is to be given to vowels in accented syllables end-

 C6c-ci-dae ; ch has the sound of K, as in Chal-cid ; g before e, i, y, ae, or oe 

 lias the sound of j, as in Li-gy-rus ; oe and are pronounced like e, as 

 in 'koeb-el-^e.
