Of this list, Nos. 5, 6, 13, 19 and 20 are best suitedto the climate of the southern half of the territoryfor which this work is designed. No. 7 and No. 9would, probably, not succeed in the most northernpart of the United States; wdiile Nos. 4,12,16,17 and18 would be of doubtful value near the Balsam Fir. GENERAL LNDEX. -??- PAGE. Chap.
