OBSERVATIONS ON PARTICULAR TREES, &C. 



Andromeda tree, is tender, and must therefore have 

 a situation accordingly. It was always a part of 

 the greenhouse furniture, but does sometimes abroad; 

 and it is very well to try what may be done with the 

 hardiest greenhouse plants. 



Apple, these crabs produce rather slender wood, 

 and therefore should not be in a crowded, or shady 

 situation, but rather, as much as possible, in single 

 plants. The fruit of the three first makes superior 

 tarts, and the latter an excellent preserve ; and the 

 fruit of all of them may come to the desert when fu}l 

 ripe. Allow the double flowering apple a good situ- 

 ation, to preserve its charming crimson blow. 



Azederach consider as tender ; its foliage is beau- 

 tiful, flowers white, and fruit yellow. 



Cashiobury bush must have a sheltered situation, 

 particularly the young plants, which should be pro- 

 tected for two or three winters. 



Spindle tree (sometimes called prickwood} is very 

 beautiful with its leaves in autumn, for which (as 

 many other plants) it is chiefly considered as orna- 

 mental, its flowers making no show- The seed lies 

 two years before it comes up. 



Stewartia, a fine shrub, a little tender whilst young. 

 Layers require two years to strike. Cuttings ma- 

 nage as directed for arbutus. Not ripening here, 

 its seeds are imported from Virginia. 



Trumpet flower, sometimes called scarlet jasmine, 

 is a trailing plant, and therefore requires training to 

 a wall tor suppoit ; or having something to climb on, 

 it will proceed much in the way of an honeysuckle. 

 It is tender, and must have a good situation, but when 

 properly managed is a great beauty. Prune it to a 

 few eyos, precisely upon the principle of a vine. The
