LAWN AND SHADE TREES. 



fragrant in some varieties, but not prominent ,m beauty or 

 attractiveness. 



The FLOWERING PLUM Prunus. Under the name of prunus 

 trilobata a new dwarf shrub has been recently introduced that 

 promises great beauty, from its bearing a profusion of delicate 

 pink semi-double flowers of about one inch in diameter thickly 

 spread upon its long and slender branches. It is yet rare, but 

 will doubtless soon find a place in evc/y garden, where it 

 should have a conspicuous position. It is quit& hardy. 



FIG. 54.- -DOUBLE-FLOWERING PLUM. 



The DOUBLE-FLOWERING PLUM Prunus. The double-flower- 

 ing plum, or as often called sloe plum, is one of the finest small 

 trees or large shrubs in the whole list. It is perfectly hardy ; 

 forms a round, compact head, and when in bloom its mass of 

 little white double daisy-like flowers makes it a most attractive 

 and beautiful object. Our engraving was copied from a plant we 

 set in 1853. It should have a place by itself, open, upon the lawn.
