602 Classification of Plants. 
Stag’s-horn Sumach (Rhus typhina), Negundo fraxinifolia 
Gleditschia spp., Pterocarya Caucasica, and Hop-tree (Ptelea 
trifoliata), etc.—with pinnate leaves. 
Asmall number of deciduous trees are equally ornamental 
in flower and foliage. The most conspicuous example in 
this group is the Common Horse-Chestnut, to which we may 
add the Scarlet Horse-Chestnut, the Tulip-tree, the Lime, 
the False Acacia (Robinia Pseudacacia), the Cucumber-tree, 
(Magnolia acuminata), the Umbrella-tree (Magnolia tripetala), 
Catalpa bignonioides, and Paulownia imperialis, but the last 
seldom produces its flowers in perfection with us. 
We now come to those trees planted almost exclusively for 
the colour they impart to the landscape, all of which are of 
comparatively small dimensions. To the first class belong the 
Laburnum in its numerous varieties, the Searlet and Pink 
Thorns (Crataegus Oxyacantha vars. ), the Almond, several species 
of Pyrus, as P. spectabilis and P. coronaria, and the Judas-tree 
(Cercis Siliquastrum). The following, though less ornamental, 
are worthy of a place in a large collection where greater variety 
is desirable: Cladrastis lutea, A’sculus Pavia in variety, Al. 
Californica and AK. glabra, Acer rubrum, Cerasus Avium, Crata:- 
gus Crus-galli splendens, and C. prunifolia, Halesia tetraptera, 
Caragana spp. on stems, Amelanchier vulgaris, ete. 
The fruits of some trees are conspicuous in autumn and 
winter: such are the Mountain Ash (Pyrus Aucuparia), the 
Searlet-fruited Thorn (Crateegus coccinea), some of the Crabs, 
as Pyrus melanocarpa, P. prunifolia, P. cerasifera, etc., Coto- 
neaster affinis, Rhus glabra var. coccinea, and Gleditsehia tri- 
acanthos (very long thin twisted pods). 
Deciduous Trees with variegated foliage—Within the last 
few years, and especially during the last decade, a great increase 
has been made in the number of cultivated plants with varie- 
vated or coloured foliage, especially in hardy trees and shrubs. 
Whilst many of them are inferior in point of beauty to the 
normal green-leaved varieties, there are a few really effective 
and desirable, but they should always be sparingly planted. 
1. Trees having their foliage vuriegated with yellow and 
green.—Sweet Chestnut (Castanea vesca foliis aureo-marginatis), 
Catalpa bignonioides aurea, Tulip-tree (Liriodendron talipiiens 
medio-picta), Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica aureo-variegatis), 
Elm (Ulmus campestris aurea), Sycamore (Acer Pseudo- -platanus 
variegatus), Ash (Fraxinus excelsior aurea), and Eleagnus 
Japonicus aureo-marginatis.
