Excerpt from Our Northern Shrubs and How to Identify Them: A Handbook for the Nature-Lover The shrubs described in this volume are those which find their most congenial home in the region extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to the northern boundaries of our Southern States; together with those imported shrubs which have so long adorned our yards and gardens that we have almost forgotten their foreign origin. The volume is prepared not only for the amateur botanist who seeks a more complete description of plants than the text-books in common use afford; not only for the lover of nature who desires a personal ac quaintance with the bushes that grow in the fields and the fence corners; but also to serve those who are engaged in the establishment and decoration of city parks, roadways and boulevards; those who are seek ing to beautify country roadsides, school-yards and railway stations, as well as those who, in the decora tion of their own home grounds, would gladly use our native shrubs were their habits and character better understood.
