I now name a few trees and shrubs of other fami-

Of Maples, Acer macropliyllum. 



Negundo fraxini folium, N. polymorphum, from

 climates, unprotected. 



Ailantm glandulosa, or the Tree of Heaven, on 

 whose leaves a hardy silk- worm, called Bombyx Cyn- 

 thia, loves to feed. 



Ampeiopsis, commonly known as five-fingered ivy, 

 of the Vine family, and of which those called Vcitchii 

 from Japan, are lovely on walls, as is also A. Japo- 

 nica (Sieboldtii), from the same country, abounding 

 in beautiful plants. 



Amygdalus, or Almond Tree. 



Andromeda , somewhat akin to heaths. 



Aniseed Tree, Itticium, stands out in many parts of 

 Ireland. 



Aralias, of which also there are some lovely varie-

Arbutus Andrachnc, A. procera, A. uva-tirsi, a 

 vigorous trailing plant. 



Aristolochia sipho. 



Aristotelia Macqui. 



Azaleas, several of which are hardy. 



Herberts Darwinii, &c. Of this group there are 

 very handsome shrubs from Japan called Mahonias. 



Buxus, or Box, of which I lately procured plants
