LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 
in winter ; yet, as it is not so, but a rare and very unique 
exception to the usual beautiful diversity of spray and 
ramification, it is highly interesting to place such a tree as 
the present in the neighborhood of other full-sprayed 
species, where the curiosity which it excites will add 
greatly to its value as an interesting object at that period 
of the year.* 
The seeds vegetate freely, and the tree is usually 
propagated in that manner. It prefers a rich, strong soil, 
like most trees of the western states. 
* There are some very fiae specimens upon the lawn at Dr. Hosack’s seat 
Hyde Park, N. Y., which have fruited for a number of years. See Fig. 33.
