Acer, Wie?^'s cut-leaved — A rapid grower ; shoots slender and drooping; in 

 liabit about as graceful as the cut-leaved birch. The foliage is abundant, sil- 

 very underneath, deeply and delicately cut. The leaf stalks are long and 

 tinted with red on the upper surface. We believe it will rank among the most 

 interesting lawu trees, and may be easily adapted to small places by au occa- 

 sional cutting back, which it will bear to any degree as well as a willow. 



Qiiercus pedunculata lacinata — An elegant tree; foliage deeply cut; one of 

 the best cut-leaved trees. 



XEW AXD HARE EVERGREENS. 



Biota Semjjer Aurea — A new variety of the Aurea, which retains its golden 

 tint the year round. So far it has proved hardy with us. A desirable acqui- 

 sition. 



Juniperus ohJonga pendula — A native of Japan, of drooping habit; distinct 

 and ornamental. 



Juniperus Chinensis Aurea (Young's Golden Juniper) — This is no doubt 

 the most distinct and beautiful of all the Yellow or Golden Conifers ; a vigor- 

 ous grower. 



Juniperus Venusta — Foliage of a beautiful glaucous green color ; erect and 

 rapid grower. This is one of the handsomest Junipers we have seen. 



NEW AND RARE DECIDUOUS SHRUBS. 



Deutzia Crenata ji. aTba plena — A very fine profuse flowering shrub ; flowers 

 pure white, fine, and distinct. 



Hydrangea Japonica Alba — A charming shrub; flower of delicate rose-color, 

 changing to white. 



Hydrangea Japonica Macrocephala — Very large individual flowers ; petals 

 white, returning to rose as they acquire age. 



Hydrangea Olaksa — Foliage of a beautiful deep green. The plant produces 

 immense trusses of rose-colored flowers in profusion ; free bloomer. 



Lilac Alba Grandiflora — Very large pure white trusses. The finest white 

 lilac. 



Lilac Cmrulea Superba — Flowers light purple in bud, but when fully open a 

 clear blue ; truss very large. The finest of its color in cultivation. 



Lilac Ville de Troyes — Dark purple; large panicle ; fine. 



Spircea Fonienaysii — Vigorous and free bloomer ; large panicles of white 

 flowers.

The chair remarked that these reports were very valuable, and if preserved, 

 as they would be, would have a great permanent interest and importance.
