The purple birch holds its color well. The purple beech has been tried to 

 a limited extent without success. Recent plantings have been made. It is 

 a form of the European beech jvhich is evidently tender here. The cut- 

 leaved weeping birch is worthy a place in every yard. 



The cucumber tree is hardy under ordinary circumstances. Ours has been 

 in a trying place and has suffered somewhat. 



The winter aspect of the Kentucky coffee-tree is singular, and its summer 

 dress is scarcely less so. 



The pepperidge is valuable alike for autumn coloring and winter oddity. 



Our native oaks are recommended in the order named.
