form. The type is common. This is also happy 

 farther north. 



Cassinia leptophylla. — New Zealand. A small 

 evergreen shrub, bearing white flower-heads. Tre- 

 gothnan. 



Ceanothus. — California and Mexico. Many 

 species and varieties are grown both as bushes, in 

 which form they soon make small trees, and trained 

 against walls. Of the early-flowering varieties C. 

 veitchianus is the brightest coloured, and of the autumn- 

 blooming, azureus section, Gloire de Versailles is the 

 favourite. Common in most gardens. 



CiTHAREXYLOM QUADRANGULARE. — West Indies. 

 The F'iddle-wood. Bears white, fragrant flowers. 

 There is a fine specimen at Abbotsbury. Dorset. 



Citrus trifoliata (CEgle sepiaria). — Japan. 

 This fiercely-spined Citrus is hardy, but rarely flowers 

 and fruits in the north. In the south-west it flowers 

 freely, and one specimen fruits almost annually. 

 It is 7 feet in height, and last year carried over thirty 

 fruits. 



Clerodendron trichotomum. — Japan. A deci- 

 duous shrub, also hardy, but flowering best in the 

 south-west. A fine specimen over 15 feet in height 

 and as much through is at Greenway on the Dart. 



Clethra arborea. — Madeira. The Lily-of-the- 

 Valley tree. Evergreen. It bears panicles of white, 

 bell-shaped flowers in the summer, at which time it 

 is quite a feature at Tresco. There are good bushes, 

 the largest about 7 feet in height, at Trewidden, near 

 Penzance.
