Gordonia pubescens (formerly Franklinia). 



The Black, or Noricay Maple ; no tree will 

 produce a better head, or a more impene- 

 trable shade, and, as it does not attain a 

 great height, there is no more suitable 

 large tree for a single lot.

The Common Ivy will spread gracefully over 

 a lot, instead of grass, but is found, in 

 practice, to collect the leaves in winter, 

 and they prove diificult to displace. 



The Rhododemlrons, &c., which we should 

 recommend, would be 

 Kalmia Latifolia, or Common Laurel, 

 Rhododendron maximum, ^ g^^ceed in the

These are superb bloomers, and beautiful 

 evergreens in addition. When they attain 

 considerable size, nothing can be more 

 desirable. 



The Common White Jasmine, and the midifora. 

 The Periwinkles are admirably adapted to 

 cover the surface of graves, and to trail 

 over the grounds.

 The T^entiscus Weeping Ash, 

 Fraxinus lentiscifolia pendula is a fine- 

 spreading, and somewhat drooping tree, 

 well worthy of a place. 



The Weeping Sophora, first on this list, 

 one of the most remarkable and elegant of 

 the drooping shrubs, is but little introduced, 

 but we are convinced that, when it is more 

 generally known, it will be much employed 

 in cemeteries. The round head, and deeply- 

 weeping, long, slender, green shoots, are quite 

 ornamental, both in summer and winter. 

 The foliage and flowers resemble somewhat 

 the White Locust and the Laburnum. It 

 could be procured in quantities from Europe, 

 at very moderate cost, and will be, when it 

 becomes known, extensively propagated 

 here, where it is quite hardy.
