REPORT OF THE FOREMAN OF FORESTMT. 255 



18. Catalpa speciosa. — Hardy catalpa (United States.) Height, 30 to 40 feet. In 

 bloom, fourth week of June. Flowers, large, white, spotted with purple and yellow. 

 This tree is very handsome when the flowers are in bloom. The leaves are large and 

 heart-shaped. The seed pods which form during the latter part of the summer become 

 more than one foot in length. The whole tree is very tropical looking. To ensure 

 hardiness, trees should be obtained from northern grown stock as but few specimens have 

 proved hardy at Ottawa. 



19. Celastrus articulatus. — Japanese climbing bitter-sweet (China and Japan). 

 This is very distinct from Celastrus scandens, the native climbing bitter-sweet, with 

 smaller and more abundant berries, which are yellow and orange in colour, in that 

 respect especially differing from the native species. It is perfectly hardy and makes a 

 fine climber. 



20. Celastrus scandens. — Climbing bitter-sweet (Canada). This pretty climber, 

 with its bright green leaves and showy scarlet and orange berries, is very desirable. It 

 may be grown in a low compact mass by keeping the stems well cut back. Treated in 

 this way it makes a very attractive object when covered with fruit, which remains 

 throughout the winter. 



21. Cercidiphyllum japonicum, — Katsura tree (Japan). Height, 30 to 50 feet. The 

 pyramidal shape and delicate heart-shaped leaves of this tree make it very attractive and 

 ornamental. It is closely related to the magnolia family but is quite hardy at Ottawa. 



22. Cornus alba sibirica variegata. — Variegated Siberian dogwood. Height, 4 to 6 

 feet. A handsome shrub with silvery variegated leaves. Quite hardy. 



23. Cratcegus coccinea. — Scarlet fruited hawthorn (Canada). Tree. Height, 10 to 20 

 feet. In bloom, fourth week of May. Flowers, white, borne in great profusion. This 

 valuable native tree is ornamental in spring, summer, and autumn. The flowers are 

 pretty, the leaves dark and shiny, and the fruit bright red and very showy. 



24. Cratcegus Crus-galli. — Cockspur thorn (Ontario). Tree. Height, 15 to 25 feet. 

 In bloom second week of June. Flowers, white tinged with pink. The leaves of this 

 tree are very ornamental, being thick, smooth, and very shiny. 



25. Daphne Cneorum. — Garland flower (Eastern Europe). Height, 1 to 1| feet. In 

 bloom, second week of May. Flowers, bright pink and sweet scented. A very pretty 

 little evergreen quite suitable for flower borders. It blooms a second time in autumn. 



26. Diervilla Candida. — White flowered weigelia (China). Height, 4 feet. In 

 bloom, first week of June. Flowers, pure white, making a charming contrast with the 

 pink-flowered varieties. 



27. Diervilla rosea. — Pink-flowered weigelia (China). Height, 4 to 5 feet. In bloom 

 first week of June. Flowers, pink. The weigelias are very well known and much 

 admired flowering shrubs. Of this species there are a number of fine varieties. 



*28. Diervilla rosea Sieboldii variegata. — Siebold's variegated weigelia (China). 

 Height, 4 feet. In bloom, first week of June. Flowers, pink and white. Leaves beau- 

 tifully variegated with white and pale green. This is the hardiest variety of weigelia 

 tested here. 



29. Elceagnus angustifolia. — Russian olive (South Europe, Orient). Height, 15 to 

 20 feet. In bloom, third week of June. Flowers, small, yellow, very sweet scented. 

 This is a very ornamental tree with narrow silvery leaves and is perfectly hardy. 



30. Elceagnus argentea. — Wolf willow (Canada.) Height, 8 to 12 feet. Blooms 

 in 4th week in May. Flowers, small, yellow, and very sweet scented. The leaves which 

 make this shrub ornamental are large and silvery. As it suckers considerably this 

 should be taken into account when planting. 



31. Genista tinctoria. — Dyer's greenweed (Europe). Height, 1 to 2 feet. In bloom 

 fourth week of June. Flowers, bright yellow, pea-shaped. A very beautiful little shrub 

 continuing in bloom for some time.
