Excerpt from Native Woody Plants of the United States: Their Erosion-Control and Wildlife Values Since the initial appearance of this work in preliminary mimeographed form in 1936, a great many people have contributed original information and suggestions without which the present publication would be much less complete. To all of these people, the author wishes to express his sincere thanks. He is particularly indebted to Ernest G. Holt for his advice, suggestions, and criticism, as well as his very considerable assistance during the preparation of the manuscript; to T. H. Kearney, for permission to use his manuscript on the flora of Arizona; to V. L. Cory and H. B. Parks for the use of their manuscript catalog of the Texas flora, and Mr. Parks' manuscript on the useful properties of Texas plants; to F. L. Mulford for the plant-growth region map, together with his chapter on its development; to C. W. Thornthwaite for the map of the climatic regions; to Clarence Cottam and his assistants, Phoebe Knappen, F. M. Uhler, Neil Hotchkiss, and A. L. Nelson, for their very great help in making available considerable data from the Section of Food Habits Research of the Bureau of Biological Survey; to E. P. Killip for advice on the taxonomic problems; to E. L. Crandall for his help with some of the photographs and to C. R. Ball, who assisted materially in the preparation of the section on Salix.
