Paulownia.—Imperialu. — One of the Qnest of broad leaved 

 , and in latitudes south of 41° it produces a profusion of 

 purplish lilac flowers. N<>rth of 41° the tn-e is hardy, but the 

 • : destroyed by cold. 



rua. — Strange as it may seem this beautiful, 



md-clasa growth of tree is rarely to be found in the 



nurseries, and he who wants it must go to the woods and dig for 



himself small plants. As an open foreground tree for group-, 



glossy, deep green foliage of the Sassafras and its irregular 



swaying branches make it especially desirable. 



Tulip Tree. — Liriodendron. — The Tulip or Whitewood is one 



of t'.ie most Jbeautiful and stately of our native trees. It is a 

 rapid grower, erect, yet partially spreading, forming a regular, 

 even, conically round head, with a large, broad, rieh, glossy leaf 

 and smooth, clean bark. Like the Magnolias, its roots are solt 

 and do not bear exposure to dry winds or sun when trans-

 develop its greatest beauty, but it will thrive in any good loam 

 where there is a perfect drainage. 



ThoDi.s. — Cratagus. — Of these second class trees. Btrictly 



shrubs, there are many varieties beautiful in flower and varied in 



foliage. They are of little value except when used in a hedge, 



and here unfortunately the pruning seems in a few years to

Walnut— Juglans. — Under the name of Walnut we have the 



European Walnut and the Black "Walnut of our forests. The 



ID Walnut is not hardy in our Northern Stab - A- an 



ornamental tree South it makes a pleasing variety, because of 



contrast in its foliage with that of most other trees, The 



Blaek Walnut — hirjlana Nigra— makes a very rapid growth and
