Manual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs, Hardy in North America: Exclusive of the Subtropical and Warmer Temperate Regions

Second-Hand. Published by: Macmillan. Ex Library. Hardback but no D/J. Alfred Rehder’s book was designed to complement Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America (Exclusive of Mexico) and Gray’s Manual of Botany, which documents the native vegetation of the same region. For each of the 2,300 species of trees and shrubs covered in the book, Rehder included a concise physical description, as well as time of flowering and fruiting, references to published illustrations, region of native habitat, date of introduction into cultivation, hardiness zone, and comments on horticultural merit or special cultural requirements.
