Their superior stateliness of form and splendor of growth, the size and richness of their foliage and lavish yield 

 of fragrant flowers, all tend to place them in the foremost rank among hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Their 

 proper place is on the lawn, where they show to fine advantage in contrast to the green ; or they may be planted 

 effectively on the borders of lawns, with an evergreen In the background to heighten the contrast. Planted in 

 groups, they yield to no rival, and their effect in the early spring is grand beyond description, illuminating the 

 whole landscape and filling the atmosphere with their rich perfume. 



To Insure success in their transplanting, they should be moved in the spring, never in the fall, and the Chinese 

 varieties at that period when thev are coming into bloom, and, consequently, before the leaves have made their 

 appearance Great care should be exercised in their removal, the fibrous roots being preserved as nearly as pos- 

 sible and carefully guarded from any exposure to wind or sun. While almost any good soil is sufiicient to insure 

 their growth, they succeed best in a soil which is warm, rich and dry.
