This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

George Neville Jones was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, England, in 1903, the eldest of seven children (six brothers and a sister). His father, Alfred Loft Jones, died while George Neville was an undergraduate.
Jones entered the State College of Washington (now the Washington State University, in Pullman, Washington) and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1930. He earned Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Washington in Seattle.
He was a professor of botany at the University of Illinois (Urbana) at the time of his death. The family moved to Manitoba while he was still very young, and then to Seattle, Washington state, at the end of his high school years. His doctoral thesis was published as the "Flowering Plants and Ferns of Mount Rainier" in 1938.
He contributed over 1800 specimens to the herbarium at the University of Washington while a student there.
G. Neville, as he preferred to be known, was an instructor of biology at Harvard University and a technical assistant at the Arnold Arboretum from 1937 to 1939. He moved to the University of Illinois in 1939, as a taxonomist and curator of the herbarium.
Between the years of 1939 and 1968, he contributed approximately 46,000 specimens to the herbarium, as well as publishing the Flora of Illinois in 1945. He produced second and third editions of this work, in 1950 and 1963.
He became an assistant professor in 1944, and was appointed a Guggenheim Fellow for a study of the botany of the Northwest Coast of North America.
Jones died on June 25, 1970, from injuries sustained in a car accident that had occurred on April 14, 1968. A memorial plaque has been placed there under a linden (Tilia americana) tree - his last publication was a taxonomy of American species of Tilia. containing specimens collected by Jones: University of Washington (WTU) University of Illinois (Illinois) Harvard University, Gray Herbarium (GH) Lund University (LD) University of Copenhagen (C) Missouri Botanical Garden (Missouri) Northern Illinois University (DEK).
