HORSE-CHESTNUT (^Esculus Hippocastanum] . This tree 

 possesses much beauty in its compact regular form and dark 

 green foliage, but it is especially beautiful when in blossom 

 with its large, compact panicles of white and rose-colored 

 flowers. It is easily grown from seed, readily transplanted, 

 hardy, and succeeds on a variety of soils. 



RED-FLOWERED HORSE-CHESTNUT (^E. H., var. rubi- 

 cunda). Although not quite so conspicuous a tree as the 

 last, it has more of the quiet beauty, with its dark green 

 foliage and light red flowers. 



SERVICE-BERRY OR SHADBUSH (Amelanchia Canadensis). 

 A native tree of small size that produces the most beauti- 

 ful mass of pure white flowers very early in the spring 

 before any but the fruit-trees are in bloom. It is perfectly 

 hardy, but is liable to be attacked by the apple-borer 

 and must have frequent attention to prevent injury by 

 this insect. It succeeds best in rather sheltered loca- 

 tions, and "though a native" deserves much more fre-

CANOE-BIRCH (Betula papyracea). There is scarcely a 

 more beautiful or easily grown tree than the canoe-birch. 

 It succeeds in nearly all kinds of soil and is transplanted
