ALNUS OVATA. 
Class. Order. 
MONOECIA TETRANDRIA. 
A native of the eastern parts of Europe. 
It is a bushy tree, growing in wet lands, in 
which it will attain to a considerable size, 
and is quite hardy. 
The flowers are produced in the spring, 
before the leaves, like those of the rest of 
this family; they have a pleasing appear- 
ance, and the trée is well deserving a place 
in plantations. It may be increased with 
facility by layers.
