NATIVE HAIWY AMERICAN ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 
Varieties. 
Hardy Evergreen Trees, continued. 
Ilex opaca (American Holly). 15 to 40 ft. 
Ilex Cassine (Yaupon). 10 to 15 ft ■ 
This rare species comes from the coast of Carolina, 
and may not be perfectly hardy all over the North, 
though it will stand zero weather without apparent 
injury. It is, however, an elegant shrub or small 
tree, with small, smooth, crenate or scalloped leaves. 
These contain a large per cent, of a strong element, 
and are used even yet in making tea in localities of 
lower Virginia, while it is well known as the Yaupon, 
from which the famous "black drink" of the South- 
ern Indians was made. 
Juniperus Virginiana (Red Cedar). 15 to 35 ft 
A useful small ornamental, the foliage varying 
often from a stiff needle-shape to light and feathery. 
Magnolia glauca (Sweet Bay). 12 ta 30 ft 
One of the finest in foliage and flower ; latter 2 to 
3 inches across, and of peculiar sweet fragrance. 
Magnolia grandiflora (Great South'n il). 50 to 90 ft 
Thick, leathery leaves 6 to 10 inches long, and 
large, broad, very fragrant flowers, 6 to 8 in. broad. 
Olea Americana (Olive). 8 to 25 ft 
From Florida ; nearly hardy. Clusters of white, 
fragrant flowers. Purple fruit. 
Picea nigra (Black Spruce). 50 to 75 ft 
Thick, heavy growth and dark foliage. 
Pinus pungens (Table-Hountain Pine). 20 to 50 ft. 
Of peculiar growth, the cones remaining on for 
years, giving the tree a unique appearance. 
Pinus Strobus ( White Pine). 50 to 1 50 ft 
This grand Pine needs noextended description here. 
The delicate silvery foliage and clean, rapid growth 
are unsurpassed by any known conifer. 
Pinus australis (Long=leaf Yellow Pine). 60 to 75 ft. 
The well-known timber and tar Pine of the lower 
Southern states. The small plants present a most 
surprisingly tropical appearance, with thelight green, 
IS to 2o-inch long leaves of annual growth clustered 
perpendicularly on the ends of the shoots like a broom, 
and bearing a strikingly singular contrast to the 
leaves of the previous year's growth, which are dark 
green and droop gracefully downward. 
Pinus rigida (Black or Pitch Pine). 30 to 50 ft 
The straggling growth of this pine prevents its ex- 
tensive use as an ornament, though as a single lawn 
tree it is quite effective. 
Prunus Caroliniana (Cherry-Laurel). 20 to 30 ft. . 
This much admired tree is quite commonly used in 
the South as a fine ornamental. The white flowers 
are profuse and showy, and present a fine effect, with 
the always pleasing aspect of the glossy, serrate 
leaves. As it is not perfectly hardy in our moun- 
tains, however, we cannot recommend its extensive 
planting north of lower Maryland. 
Tsuga Canadensis (Hemlock). 50 to 100 ft 
Considered by eminent authorities to be the most 
beautiful of all American conifers ; rich and delicate 
foliage, drooping branches and dense habit.
