OBSERVATIONS ? N PARTICULAR TREES, &C. 



Andromeda tree is tender, and mud therefore have a 

 fituation accordingly. It was always a part of the green- 

 houfe furniture, but does fometimes abroad ; and it is 

 very well to try what may.be done w T ith the hardiejl 

 green-houfe plants. 



Apple, thefe crabs produce rather (lender wood, and 

 therefore fhould not be in a crowded, or fhady fituation, 

 but rather, as much as poffible, in detached Tingle 

 plants. The fruit of the three fir ft makes fuperior tarts, 

 and the latter an excellent ^/v/^w; and the fruit of all 

 of them may be introduced in the dejcrt, when full ripe. 

 Allow the double fioiuering apple a good fituation, to 

 preferve its charming crimfon blow as long as poffible. 



Azederach confider as tender ; its foliage is beautiful, 

 flowers white, and fruit vellow. 



Cajhlobury bujh muft have a fheltered fituation, par- 

 ticularly the young plants, which fhould be protected 

 for two or three winters. 



Spindle tree (fometimes called prichwood) is very 

 beautiful with its leaves in autumn, tor which (as many 

 other plants) it is chiefly confidered as ornamental, its 

 flowers making no fhow. The feed lies two years be- 

 fore it conies up. 



Stewartia, a fine ffirab, a little tender whilft young. 

 Layers require two years to ftrike. Cuttings manage 

 as directed for arbutus. Seeds are imported from Vir- 

 ginia. 



Trumpet flower, fometimes called Jcarlet jaj 'mine, is a 

 trailing plant, and therefore requires training to a Wall 

 for fupport ; or having fomething to climb on it will 

 proceed much in the way of an hcneyfuckle. It is. rather 

 tender, and muft have a good fituation, but when 

 properly managed is a great beauty. Prune it to a 

 few eyes, precisely upon the principle of a vine. The 

 (hoots will ftrike into cracks of the w r alls and mount 

 high where there is room. See Catalpa, lali lift.
