(Halesu Terapter.\.) 



remarkfd by Loudon, 

 " one of the most orna- 

 mental of American de- 

 ciduous trees, and richly 

 deserves a place in every 

 collection." It grows in- 

 digenously in tlie south- 

 ern and southwestern 

 States. It has long been 

 cultivated in the nurser- 

 ies, and- may be found in 

 most large collections; 

 but it is by no means 

 Common. It attains the 

 height of fifteen or 

 twenty feet, but may be 

 tept within the dimen- 

 sions of a medium sized 

 shrul^ where desirable. 

 A plant in our grounds, 

 seven or eight years old, 

 is not over six feet ]iigh, 

 and has blossomed pro- 

 fusely for several years.
