 tree, with very large leaves and fragrant flowers. oOc.

 growing tree, of medium size and pyramidal form, with cordate acuminate leaves, downy beneath

 habit. Bark on young wood rose-colored, and foliage deeply cut. One of the finest trees for the

 several very desirable kinds fail to receive due recognition, and we therefore invite the attention of planters to them as fol- 

 lows: Of the European varieties Dov(xi is a verj' erect, rapid growing sort, with smooth bark and large dark green leaves : 

 valuable for avenue planting. Superixt and Huntingdon are also suited to the same purpose. We grow the American, 

 than which there is no fi ner tree, on an extensive scale, for street and park planting.

 our own forests. 50c.
