growers. Large, heart-shaped, downy leaves, and compound 
panicles of white flowers, tinged with violet and dotted with 
purple and yellow. This is one of the mostvalu able of timber 
trees; valuable for lumber, tie and fence posts. Every farm 
should have one to five acres in timber belt of this valuable tree.

eties oi 1 lowering l rabs. At a distance the pretty medium-sized 
tree seems to be covered with dainty little roses of a delicate 
pink color. Blooms when quite young. Is very fragrant.

beautiful of all the Evergreen family. We make a specialty of
