All plants in this catalog are zoned for hardiness. The Zone Number is a Roman Numeral 
following the description. It refers to the zones in the above map. Example:—Mountain Laurel 
(Kalmia) on page 11 is hardy in Zone IV, or anywhere south of Zone IV. The system of zoning 
is the best we know, but is not perfect. Sheltered localities may enable you to grow trees one or 
two zones colder than shown.
