6 LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 



purple or bronze-green foliage all summer, is moderately 

 vigorous in growth, and very desirable. 



GOLDEN-LEAVED OAK (Q. r., var. concord ia). This is 

 perhaps the best of the golden-leaved oaks, and is very 

 beautiful when the leaves first unfold, but it loses some- 

 thing of its freshness and beauty as the season advances. 

 Its chief value consists in the use that may be made of it 

 in toning down the extreme shades and tints of other trees. 



GOLDEN-LEAVED JAPANESE MAPLE (A. Jap.,aurea). 

 A most beautiful tree for planting with the purple-leaved 

 forms of A. polymorphum. 



GOLDEN ELM (Ulmus campestris, var. aurea), Fig. 89'. 

 This beautiful tree is of slow growth, but planted in 

 moderately rich land succeeds well and is worth repeated 

 trials to secure the establishment of even a single specimen. 



CHINESE CATALPA (Catalpa Bungei), Fig. 89'. A most 

 interesting rounder umbrella-formed tree with large, bright 

 green foliage. In slight shelter and in a deep, warm, sandy 

 loam it proves hardy and valuable.
