Introduction: Planting

This discussion will be of some assistance by way of enabling the reader properly to consult the lists contained under these headings. A number of chapters are included in this discussion, devoted to the following subjects: Pruning, Planting Seasons, Planting and Transplanting, Maintenance, Winter Protection and Mulching, Lawns, Selection and Planting of Bulbs. The author feels that there should be in a book of this kind a concise statement of the fundamental principles which govern work in this field of Landscape Plantings. These chapters are in no way a complete discussion of these subjects. They are more in the form of instructions and specifications which will serve as a guide in the right direction. For further and more complete information on these subjects reference should be made to the Bibliography (Pages 343 to 351), both of articles and of books, contained in the Appendix to this volume. The author has compiled a bibliography of articles and books which are of distinct value to the reader. But there are many other articles and books, of great interest and value to readers, some of which probably have escaped the author's attention and should be included in this list. This list will be revised from time to time.
