Cover Illustration 
Abies Koreana 
It is felt to be of interest to most nurserymen, that the 
illustrations appearing in this list have been taken from 
a collection of books privately printed and published in 
England many years ago. The vast program of British 
Colonial Expansion of that period which sent represent- 
atives to all parts of the empire to collect specimens 
of plant material, samples of minerals and complete 
compilations of natural resource statistics, was respon- 
sible for the printing of these volumes. While most of 
the illustrations were made from photographs, there 
are many exquisite drawings, obviously made at the 
scene of the discovery.
