The FLOWEEUfG Plttm — Prunus. — Under the. name oi prunus 

 trildbata a new dwarf shrub has been recently introduced that 

 promises great beauty, from its bearing a profusion of delicate 

 pink semi-double flowers of about one inch in diameter thickly 

 spread upon its long and slender branches. It is yet rare, but 

 will doubtless soon find a place in every garden, where it 

 should have a conspicuous position. It is quite hardy.

The DotjBLE-FLowEBiNG Pltjm— P«raM«.— The double-flower- 

 ing plum, or as often called sloe plum, is one of the finest small 

 trees or large shrubs in the whole list. It is perfectly hardy ; 

 forms a round, compact head, and when in bloom its mass of 

 little white double <iaisy-like flowers makes it a most attractive 

 and beautiful object. Our engraving was copied from a plant we 

 set in 1853, It should have a place by itself, open, upon the lawn.
