 Mountain ash).— A fine hardy tree with erect stem 

 and orbicular Uead; bark smooth and ^ray: foliage 

 pinnate and forming a delicate spray; covered In 

 autumn with large, drooping clusters of bright i 

 scarlet berries, which remain a long time on the

 1 Pyrus sorbus aucaparia qiiercifolia, 



(Oak-leaved Mountain Ash).— a stately pyramidal 

 tree with simple, deeply lobed leaves, bright green 

 upon the upper surface and downy beneath. In 

 bloom and fruit It resembles aucuparia, but in foli- 

 age it is quite distinct and a much finer trt e. 6 to 8 

 ft., 60c. 



SYRINGA, (Lilac). 

 Syringa Japonica, (Giant or Tree Lilac). 

 —This is not a bush as are all other lilacs, but a 

 straight, stout, well-branched tree, with a clean, 

 straight trunk, and in shape like a young ash tree. 

 The foliage is large and handsome, always clean and 

 free from mildew. Its glory, however, is in the im- 

 mense clusters of white bloom which it puts forth,in 

 midsummer, when other lilacs have long been gone. 

 One of the most magnificent and showy trees yet in- 

 troduced. This is yet very scarce and stock is limited. 

 2 ft.. 40c.

 Tree).— From Japan. A very remarkable and uni- 

 que tree, and at the same time one of the most beau- 

 tiful. Its curious leaves resemble those of the Maid- 

 en Hair Fern, and hence its specific name; peculiarly 

 notched or cut, destitute of midrib, smooth, pliant, 

 and of a yellowish-green color. It has a straight 

 trunk with a pyramidal head; in all respects an ex- 

 ceedingly ornamental tree and deserves a place on
