A   SELECT  BIBLIOGRAPHY  OF



                TREES   AND   SHRUBS







The following is a list of the  chief botanical and horticultural works of

which use has been made in  preparing the present work.  It has been

thought worth while to  print it here  as a guide to the most important

literature dealing, in particular, with hardy trees  and shrubs.   It might,

of course, be indefinitely amplified, but will, nevertheless, serve to direct

the attention of those who desire to make up a collection of works on this

fascinating branch of natural history to the best and most useful of them.
