N this Garden Book a serious attempt has been made to 
describe briefly but accurately the great assortment of 
plant materials which we grow for garden and landscape 
development. 
( 
Two methods of description have been combined — the graphic 
and the written — using the latter only sufficiently to explain fea¬ 
tures which cannot be shown in the drawings. The sketches them¬ 
selves have been rendered from the standpoint of illustrating the 
more salient features of form, branching habits, or foliage and 
flower details. 
The descriptions given cannot be absolute on account of the 
many variables involved. Colors vary with the soil, moisture, and 
temperature; also in the eye of the beholder. Rates of growth 
vary between young and old plants. Rates of growth and ultimate 
sizes both vary under different conditions of soil fertility and mois¬ 
ture, exposures and various climatic factors. 
Relatively, however, the descriptions are quite accurate. We 
believe the manner of presentation will afford a welcome relief to 
the gardening public, which all too often has to make its selections 
from long-worded descriptions more confusing than clarifying.
