PKUNUS. Plum. 



Under this heading are embraced some of the most charming early spring flowering shrubs. Prunvs trihba, or 

 the Double-flowered Plum, as it is Cdinmoulv called, and the Double-flowered Almonds, produce in remarkable pro- 

 fusion, perfectly double, finely formed fluwcrs of most attractive colors. At the blossoming season each little tree 

 appears like one mass of bloom, fonnina- a most beautiful and interesting object, whether planted singly upon the 

 lawn or in groups. As the Almond and Plum flower at the same time, they can be massed very effectively. Both 

 are hardy and of fine habit.
