Bulletin 200 - Trees and Shrubs of the Campus and East Central Illinois

The keys to the trees, shrubs and vines have been revised in an attempt to make them more usable for the beginning student. The keys to several of the genera, pines, oaks, ashes, willows, etc., have been rewritten and species added that were not in the previous printings. The key to the trees in winter has been added hoping that it will be helpful to both teachers and students. The identification of trees without their leaves during the winter is not only interesting but useful. The identification of plants is but one phase of their study. Botany is the basic science for all of the various types of agriculture and forestry, and as such is a basic science for everyone for everyday living. To be able to identify plants is important not only to farmers, gardeners, floriculturists, doctors, veterinarians, and landscape architects but also to everyone who likes the out of doors. It is hoped that this revision will be found easy to follow and useful to many. The names of the plants again follow Gray \u27s New lI1anual of Botany (seventh revised edition), and Bailey\u27s lI1anual of Oultivated Plants. ERNEST L.
