prickly  stem,  the  large  leaves,  and  the  enor- 
mous clusters  of  white  flowers,  give  it  a  tropi- 
cal effect.    Good  for  poor  soils.   3  to  5  ft.,  50c. 
Betula  .  The  Birches 
The  Birches  are  distinguished  for  their  elegant,  graceful  appearance,  slender  branches,  light, 
airy  foliage  and  for  the  silvery  white  bark  of  some  of  the  species.  They  endure  a  wide  range  of 
climatic  conditions,  and  thrive  not  only  in  moist  localities,  but  do  well  even  in  high,  dry  or 
stony  places.
