trunks, each 22 inches across ; Tulip Tree, large and low 

 branched, measuring 3 feet across its stump at the ground ; 

 Gingko, of 8 inches diameter; Cornus mascula, 25 feet in height, 

 and thirty feet across its extended branches. The Horse Chestnut 

 grows luxuriantly, and attains very large size at Warsaw. 



I must say that these trees could not be grown in open ex- 

 posure near Warsaw, for such is the ameliorating influence of a 

 large city that the shelter it affords is equal to a difference of more 

 than 50 miles in latitude. Proscau in Silesi.^, on account of its 

 elevation of 720 feet, its open exposure and cold soil, is a rather 

 more severe test of hardiness than the sheltered city ,«rr.:Jen8 of 

 Warsaw. North and East of Warsaw the cli'iiate soon becomes 

 severe. ■ ■ ■■■ •■..■ ,- .v • , 



These notes i . ^ve written as addeada to a somewhat lengthy 

 article on " Ornamfental Trees," written by me last year for the 

 seventh report of the Montreal Horticultural Society, so that what 

 I say is merely a jotting down of things not said then. 



Also before writing this, I had read Prof. Rudd's notes upon 

 the same subject before they were sent to press loi the Montreal 

 Horticultural Society's report. I have therefore avoided as far as 

 I could repeating what has been said by Mr. Budd.

A. CAMPF«^;rRE. — In my paper on " Ornamental Trees," I spoke 

 of this as a tree or shrub that would prove hardy, if only we obtained 

 our seed from Northern stock. Its beauty in Central Park and 

 other places had made me wish we had its Northern forms. la 

 the Imperial Botanic Gardens at 3t. Petersburg, we find a fine 

 specimen, 18 ft. in height, apparently quite hardy. Another ia 

 the Botanic Gardens at Orel, 30 ft. ; this latter, however, not 

 cork-barked. In the grounds of the Agricultural College at. 

 Petrovskoe Rasumovskoe, near Moscow, their stock did not prove 

 hardy. It is a native tree North of Kursk, in Central Russia, and. 

 runs thence North- West into the Baltic provinces. Farther South, 

 it grows to larger size. In the Botanic Garden at Warsaw there 

 is a tree 1 2 inches in diameter of trunk, and at least ^r feet high,.
