very striking appearance. Its cork-like, barked branches give it 

 a picturesque and interesting character, suitable for informal 

 planting. Plant in low sheltered situations in soft moist soil 

 and give plenty of water during the growing season.

 to the depth of one-quarter of an inch. 



LlRIODENDRON (fultf ^free). 



The Tulip tree, one of the most desirable of deciduous trees, 

 is of pyramidal habit with fiddle-shaped leaves and tulip-shaped 

 flowers. It makes a handsome avenue tree, being clean of stem 

 and of smooth foliage, turning bright-yellow in the Fall. It 

 must have rich bottom land and a sheltered situation to do well. 



Propagate by seeds sown, in the Fall or as soon as ripe, in the 

 open ground. Cover the seeds to the depth of one-quarter of 

 an inch. \ 



LYONOTHAMNUS. 



A handsome evergreen tree found only in the islands of 

 Santa Barbara channel. In Santa Cruz Island it grows to the 

 height of sixty feet. This tree should make an excellent addi- 

 tion to our coast collection, and, as it is a rapid grower of good 

 habit and has a bright grass-green leaf, should be planted 

 extensively. 



Propagate by cuttings placed in sand in cool frame in 

 October.
