 than lantanoides, and terminal cymes of white flowers in May. Very ornamental

XANTHOCEKAS. 



X. sorbifolia. From Central China. One of the most important introduc- 

 tions of the last few years; forms a shrub or small tree, foliage resembling that of 

 the service tree or Mt. Ash; flowers five-petalled, white, reddish copper colored at 

 base, disposed in racemes about 8 inches long; flowers expand in April or May 

 with the leaves. Plants have stood out in our grounds two winters uninjured, so 

 that we consider the tree hardy. It is very floriferous, young plants flowering 

 freely. Small plants $1.50.
