Excerpt from Plants for the Home Grounds The plants thus listed are to be found in use for ornamental plant ing in that part of of the United States north of the Ohio River and east of the Missouri River. The degree of success with many of these plants varies in different localities. The Ericaceae, including many of the broad-leaved evergreen plants in common use in eastern states, are without exception unsuccessful in the limestone soil region of the Middle West.
