Excerpt from Practical Hints on Planting Ornamental Trees: With Particular Reference to Coniferae The want of a little manual, which should contain good practical instructions on planting, and at the same time serve as a guide in making a proper selection of plants for different soils and situations, has been long felt. When and how to plant? and what kinds of trees and shrubs are most suitable for this or that situation? are questions, which in some form or other, are often addressed to us; and the enquiries refer more particularly to evergreens - especially to Coniferæ. The increasing frequency of such enquiries, and our being unable to give really useful replies to each applicant in the compass of a mere letter, have induced us to publish this little book, which it is hoped will, in some degree at least, fulfil the object intended. With the exception of a few deciduous Conifers, all the plants described are evergreen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
