SECT. XIX. LISTS OF TREES, &C. 321 



Pistachla, this is the hardiest of three sorts. Treat 

 it as a tender plant, whilst young, for three or four 

 years, and let it have finally a sheltered situation from 

 wind, and a dry soil. 



Tulip tree is tender whilst young, but afterwards 

 very hardy ; is uncertain in flowering, but handsome 

 in its leaf and growth, and has been used to be planted 

 singly on lawns, &c. It is a native of Virginia, where 

 it attains to so vast a size, as to be from twenty to 

 thirty feet in girth, though here it keeps pace only 

 with an ordinary elm. The flower is a dull red. 



Virburnham, or way- faring tree, is very pretty in 

 its hoary leaves and white flowers, succeeded by fruit 

 in autumn, in bunches of red berries. The American 

 sorts grow not near so high, but they rarely ripen 

 their berries here. The variegated sort does not 

 grow so large as the plain, which is the case with all 

 striped plants. See next list.
