small leaves forms a compact and very symmet- 
rical top. The foliage is maintained in good con- 
; dition throughout the season. We recommend 
the tree highly for lawns, streets and entrance

Yellow. Robinia Pseudacacia. Tall, narrow trees 
with strong, straight trunks and feathery light 
green foliage. Probably the first planted forest 
in the new world were with Locusts on Long

demand. 
Honey. Gleditschia triacanthos. Three-thorned 
Acacia. Pleistocene Geology of Portions of

Albany (price 25 cts.), defines the Far Rockaway 
ridge as "yellowish quartz gravel up to 3 inches." 
It is different from the plains to the east ; more

air don't hurt it.
