PLANTS FOR DRY SOILS 
PHOTO BY H. P. K. 
Often it is extremely difficult to find plants that will thrive in soil that is quite dry. These plants are among the 
best for such situations and when established seem to enjoy well-drained and rather dry soil, although many will do 
well under moist soil conditions and may also be found in that list.

PLANTS FOR SEASHORE CONDITIONS 
IN PLANTING nursery stock near the shore it is advisable to select plants that will withstand the attacks of 
ocean winds and salt spray. Only comparatively resistant kinds are listed here, and even these will sometimes suffer in 
the most severe seashore exposures. Many others will do well near the seashore with a little more protection.
