vexT durable, lasting- In favoi-able ■weather more 

 than two weeks. Besides being a ti-ee of fine form, 

 its foliage is of a grayish green color, glossy and 

 handsome, and in the autumn turns to a deep red, 

 rendering the tree one of the most showy and beau- 

 tiful objects at that season. We regard it, all things 

 considered, as one of the most valuable trees for 

 ornamental planting, ranking next to the Magnolia 

 among flcwering trees, and only second to the 

 Scarlet Oak (which it almost equals) in brilliant foli- 

 age in autumn. See Cut. Sl.OO.

The Thorns justly deserve to be classed among the most 

 LORXUS beautiful flowering trees. They are generally dense, low- 



growers, occupying comparatively little space and well 

 adapted to beautify small grounds. If judiciously pnined, 

 they can also be trained to assume nicturesque tree forms. The foliage is varied and attractive, flowers very showy
