These beautiful productions of modern horticulture are exceedingly attract- 
ive, and the demand for them will increase as they become better known. They 
require but very little attention after planting, but appreciate a rich, mellow soil. 
The foliage has a rich plaited appearance, and is a handsome green color, which 
is retained very late in autumn, when most others have turned brown and 
dropped off. 
A More Beautiful Small Flowering Tree does nut Exist. 
The leaves are arranged opposite each other along the stems, and from the 
base of each leaf-stalk springs a ball of superb snow-white flowers, often as many 
as a dozen bunches on a branch i8 inches long, and as there is hardly a branch 
on the whole tree that is not full of blossoms, it may be imagined what a beauti- 
ful sight is presented by one of these trees when in bloom. These balls, as they 
expand, always face upward, so that their great beauty is shown to the best 
advantage.
