 new native plants, which are worthy of more extended 

 culture. 



DECIDUOUS TREES. 



Acer {Maple). — A new variety ; described in a French 

 magazine the past year under the following very long 

 name : Ace?' \2^olymo7'p}ium) palmatum fol^ dissectus 

 pennatlfidis rosea-pictus ; all of which means that this is 

 a very pretty variety of maple-tree, the leaves of which 

 are very finely cut, and of a purplish or pale rose color. 

 Figured and described in the L. Illust. Hort. 



Acer pcihnatmn sanguineum. — A variety of the Pal- 

 mate-leaved maple, with dark, blood-red leaves. This 

 variety and the preceding will probably be perfectly 

 liardy in this country. They can be readily propagated 

 by grafting or budding upon our native species. Figured 

 and described in X. Illust. Hort. 



Larix Kcempferi. — This is said to be one of the most 

 beautiful of the Larch tribe. We can readily credit the 

 statement, so far as its being a beautiful tree, as all of the 

 varieties and species of the genus are handsome ; and even 

 our native Larch, or Tamarack, as it is usually called, is 

 well worthy of cultivation. Figured and described in 

 X. Illust. Sort. 



Magnolia Lennei. — The magnolias are all beautiful trees 

 or shrubs, and well worthy of attention. Our natiAc 

 species should not be overlooked by those who are endeav- 

 oring to ornament their grounds ; for they are all beauti- 

 ful, and most of them hardy in the Northern States. The
