CEDEELA SINENSIS IN PAIRMOUNT PARK, PHILADELPHIA. 



Trees and 5hrubs. 



THE CHINESE CEDRElfl « . S;,,, ,, ) IN FfllR- 

 MOUNT PARK, FfllLflDElPfllfl. 



Those ac(|uaiiilcil with the cedrela only 

 by reputation will be |)Ieasc(l to see bv 



this illustration what a beautiful 'ree it 

 is. This specimen stands where it has 

 had a good chance to show its charac er, 

 and it has developed beautiful propor- 

 tions. Its foliage and wood much resem- 

 ble that of the common ailan us, in fact 

 it is also known as Ailantus ffavescens. 

 But i s flowers are no- malodorous like 

 those of he common ailan us, the tree is 



rounder in form and does not appear to 

 make such a tall growth as that well 

 known ailantus does. Mr. Miller of Fair- 

 mount Park tells me this tree has been 

 planted but about ten 3'ears, yet it is 

 about thirty feet in height and nearly as 

 many in width. He further says it is an 

 excellent tree for carrying bright green 

 foliage all summer in the dryest times,
