care, however, must be taken that the 

 ordinary double-flowering cherry is not 

 received for it. When in leaf, it will be 

 easily known by our figure. 



Cytisus seollcus Lindl., Arb. Brit.^ and 

 ouv fig. 7., is a beautiful species of Cytisus, 

 recently introduced by the Hon. F. Strang- 

 ways, of which various historical and de- 

 scriptive particulars will be found in a 

 future page. 



Z/upinus arboreus Arb. Brit., p. 6*49. 

 This neglected shrub has been a longtime 

 in the country ; and it is little noticed by 

 amateurs, probably because it is often ill 

 treated by gardenex's. When intended for a standard shrub, it 

 should be planted in a mass, 3 ft. or 4 ft. deep, of calcareous 

 loamy soil, thoroughly drained ; and the 

 seeds sown where the plant is finally 

 to remam. Transplanted plants seldom 

 do much good, except when trained 

 against a wall. In the court-yard of 

 the gardener's house belonging to Pope's 

 Villa at Twickenham, we have lately 

 seen a singularly handsome bush of tree 

 lupine treated in this manner. It has a 

 clear single stem, apparently quite ligne- 

 ous, with a rough bark, about 2 ft. high. 

 The head reaches to the height of 8 ft., 

 spreading widely, and hanging down gracefully on every side. 

 It flowers profusely, and ripens seeds every year ; and it has 

 attained this degree of perfection in the short space of four 

 years. Seeds may be procured of the principal seedsmen. 



Pavm Arb. Brit., p. 469. The species and varieties of this 

 genus cannot be too strongly recommended. Every gentleman, 

 who has two trees of the common horsechestnut, ought to insist 

 upon his gardener cutting in the head of one of them, and 

 graftintj it all over with Pav/a 

 rubra Arb. Brit., p. 469.; or with 

 ^'sculus rubicunda Arb. Brit., 

 p. 467. That beautiful variety, 

 Pavm rubra pendUla Arb. Brit., 

 p. 470,, should not be neglected. 



Amelanchier Arb. Brit., p. 874. 

 All the species and varieties of 

 this genus deserve to be better 

 known. A. sanguinea Arb. Brit., 

 p. 875., and our^. 8.; and A. florida Arb. Brit., p. 876., and our
