*Japonica (Japan Tree Lilac, 15 ft. )— This beautiful tree is found growing only in one 

 small neighborhood in the most northern island of Japan. It makes a straight, 

 stout, well-branched tree, with leaves so large and handsome that it would be in 

 demand as a grand lawn tree for its foliage alone ; but when it puts forth, in mid- 

 summer, when other lilacs have long been gone, its immense clusters of white 

 blossoms standing stiffly up on the outer and top shoots of the tree, sometimes 

 measuring 16 by 24 inches in size, it is then without a doubt the most showy of all 

 our ornamental trees. The common lilacs mildew the last half of the summer, 

 but this new species is always clean and glossy in its great foliage, and seems to 

 be perfectly at home in our climate.
