344- THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



'' We can only compare this, as to shading, with Souvenir de la Mal- 

 maison, which it surpasses in freshness of tints and texture." [It must 

 be a beauty !] " This rose is the finest known. It has the charac- 

 ter of Jules Margottin, from which it appears to be a seedling. It 

 is freely perpetuaT, and goes far to fill a vacancy for a long time 

 existing in this class."

 head ; small, numerous spines, amaranth red ; fine deep green foliage ;

PLANTING TREES IN THE STREETS OF CITIES. 



HE planting of trees in the streets of cities has received attention as a 

 seasonable subject in the public prints of late, and has been rather 

 warmly discussed by"philo-" and "miso-" dendrons. The case may 

 be compassed in a nutshell, though, to the municipal mind, it appears to 

 be a very haid nut to crack. It is quite certain that architecture is 

 improved by the association with it of suitable trees suitably placed. A palace or a 

 temple might be spoiled in appearance if buried amongst trees, but when seen bald
