 species. 



CASTANEA. Chestnut. JEchte Kastanien, Ger. Chataignter, Fr. 



C. vesea. Sweet or Spanish Chestnut. Originally introduced from Asia- 

 Minor into Europe. A valuable species both for ornament and fruit. It forms a 

 handsome lawn tree, and produces much larger fruit than the American variety.

C. Builgei. A species from China, of dwarf habit, growing only from three to 

 five feet high. Foliage large and glossy, flowers in large clusters a foot long. 81. 



C. bignonioides. syn. C. syringsefolia. Native of the Southern States. 

 A showy, rapid growing, beautiful tree, with very large, heart-shaped leaves, and pyra- 

 midal clusters, a foot long, of white and purple flowers. Blooms latter end of July, 

 when few trees are in blossom. 



var. aiirea variegata. Golden Catalpa. A medium-sized tree of 

 rapid growth, having large heart-shaped leaves which are of a beautiful golden color in 

 spring and early summer, but later in the season become green. Were the golden vari- 

 egation constant we should regard it as an acquisition of much value. 81.00. 



var. speciosa. A variety which is said to have originated at the "West. It 

 is represented to be finer and hardier than the common, hence better adapted to forest 

 and ornamental planting. Its blossoms are said to open two or three weeks earlier than 

 those of bignonioides. 



C. Kxempferi. Introduced from Japan by Siebold. A species, with deep green, 

 glossy foliage. Flowers resembles those of the common, but clusters more dense. 



CEI/ETS, Xettle Tree. Zurgelbaum, Ger. Micocoulier, Fr. 



C. occidentalis. American Xettle Tree. A rare native tree, with numer- 

 ous slender branches, which spread out horizontally, and thick, rough bark. Leaves 

 about the size and form of those of the apple, but more pointed, and a bright sinning 

 green. 



CERASUS. Cherry. Kirsche, Ger. Cerisier, Fr. 



A very ornamental family of trees. The drooping varieties are especially adapted to 

 beautifying small grounds. As single specimens on the lawn they are unique and hand- 

 some and require only to be better known in order to be extensively planted. Now 

 that the Kilmarnock Weeping Willov is no longer rare, its place may be well filled with the 

 Dwarf Weeping Cherry, which is equally ornamental, and is unquestionably destined to 

 become just as popular.
