HARDY PICTORIAL TREES. 251 



glandulosa, Aralia japonica, yEsculus, of sorts, Fraxinus, 

 of sorts, Juglans, of sorts, Rhus typhina, and the like. 



Trees and shrubs with large simple leaves, including the 

 Aucubas, Laurels, Portugal Laurels, Photinias, Yuccas, 

 Maples, Spanish Chestnuts, Catalpas, Tulip Trees, 

 Magnolias, Paulownias, Planes, Poplars, &c. 



Trees and shrubs with small simple leaves, embracing 

 the Conifers, with their needle-shaped leaves ; and the 

 Berberis, Box, Phillyreas, Yews, and the like. 



I apprehend, however, that these are so familiar to all 

 likely to be engaged in planting, that to describe them 

 would be superfluous. Suffice it then to record them here, 

 and to remark that the best forms of them should not be 

 lost sight of when making arrangements for planting. 

 Let it be remembered that well-arranged plantations 

 should comprise the widest possible diversity both in form 

 and colour. 



No. II. 



[From " The Gardeners' Chronicle" February 2^/,'i867,/. 103.] 



FROM the " Form " of the tree, as treated on at p. 1 1 39 of 

 your last year's volume, I proceed to " Colour " of foliage, 

 under which head will be included light green, dark 

 green, purple, gold, silver, and the tints of autumn, 

 reserving flowering trees and shrubs to be treated on 

 hereafter. 



TREES AND SHRUBS WITH LEAVES LIGHT GREEN. 



Abies orientalis. Evergreen. Height, 60 feet. A 

 beautiful medium-sized tree of dense formal growth ; 

 leaves very glossy. 



Aucuba japonica vera (male and female). Evergreen. 

 Height, 6 feet. Leaves dark green, a splendid evergreen, 

 the female bearing scarlet berries in the winter. Of the 

 numerous varieties of green-leaved Aucubas, A. himalaica, 

 and A. japonica macrophylla, longifolia, and viridis are 

 the most desirable that I have yet seen.
