INDEX For the scientific names used in this book the author's authority is The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture and the Official Code of Standardized Plant Names, which latter has not been followed absolutely in every instance, though an earnest endeavor has been made to make the names conform to this nomenclature. It has been necessary to invent a few common names as no book in common use furnished a satisfactory name for many of the less well known plants. Many of these common names were taken from Britton's Manual and from the excellent catalogues issued some years ago by the Biltmore Nursery. The botanical or scientific names are indicated in italics. The group numbers refer to subdivisions of the table of contents.
