Eastern Illinois State College Bulletin No. 200 - Trees and Shrubs of the Campus and East Central Illinois

Ernest Stover

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 's New lI1anual of

Botany (seventh revised edition), and Bailey's lI1anual of

Oultivated Plants.
