These hardy trees (ord. LeguminosaO are not, 

 with the exception of triacanthos, very popular, 

 notwithstanding that they are very ornamental 

 deciduous subjects. They grow to a moderate size 

 in any good garden soil. Propagation, by imported 

 seeds where obtainable, but the choicer varietal 

 forms are grafted upon sinensis or triacanthos. 

 Seeds are best sown in early spring, about 1" deep, 

 after a good soaking in tepid water.
