NOTES OF JUNE FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS 
With the close of May a large num- 
ber of trees and shrubs have done 
blooming for the season, as it is the 
month that sees more flovrers than 
any other in the year. The present 
season has been remarkably a back- 
ward one in the middle states, as it 
doubtless has been in all others. This 
has thrown miany flowers out of sea- 
son, and to see lilacs and the large 
white dogwood flowering at the same 
time, as they are doing this season, 
is a most uncommon sight. 
To help readers as much as possi- 
cordata, Catalpa speciosa, Deutzias, 
in many varieties; Ligustrum Amu- 
rense, L. regeliana and L. Ibota, and 
even the common one L. vulgare ; 
Pyrus Americana, Philadelphus, in va- 
riety; many wild roses, particularb/ 
Rosa setigera, R. lucida, R. Carolina 
and the Japanese one, R. rugosa. The 
common elderberry, Sambucus Cana- 
densis, and the red berried one, S. 
racemosa, Syringas of all sorts, in- 
cluding the ones knowm in nurseries 
as Hungarian lilacs are as hardy as 
the hardiest. Add to the list, Tilia 
suits: Amorpha fruticosa, Berberis 
Thunbergii, Cladrastis tinctoria, Ca- 
talpa bignonioides, Elaeagnus long- 
ipes, Halesia tctraptera, Itea virgin- 
ica, Kalmia latifolia. Laburnum vulgare, 
Liriodendron tulipifera. Magnolia 
glauca and M. acuminata, Paulowmia 
imperialis, Ptcrostyrax hispidum, 
Robinia viscosa. Viburnum tomen- 
tosum and V. plicatum and Xantho- 
ceras sorbifolia.

ble I will make two divisions of trees 
and shrubs in flower in June, the first 
one to contain those of known hardy 
character, the second those entirely 
hardy in the middle states and prob- 
ably so much further north. Man3' 
of those to be named in the first list 
have been reported on from the Min- 
nesota Agricultural College as hardy 
there. So far as concerns shrubs 
many of them succeed in quite cold 
climes in a way. Snows cover them, 
preserving alive what is below the 
cover, and in this way such shrubs 
as flower from new made shoots are 
not greatly hurt if the tops do freeze. 
Among the hardiest of June bloom- 
ers are the following sorts: Crataegus 
Americana, many Spiraeas, such as 
Billardi, Regeliana, and salicifolia, 
Tamarix Africana and Viburnum opu- 
lus and its variety sterilis. Yucca 
glauca, often called Y. angustifolia, 
and a good list of pretty hardy trees 
and shrubs is before us. 
There is a limit to how far north a 
tree or shrub will grow, and what is 
hurt in one winter may not be in 
the next. In my own garden a 
Deutzia gracilis is killed half way to 
the ground the past winter, while its 
hardiness is unquestione.d. The above 
list is worthy of trial in states where 
freezings are very hard; and in the 
list now to follow many may be plant- 
ed too, with hope of favorable re- 
Y. glauca, both are well worthy a 
place, because of their ornamental 
flowers. The tulip tree grows to such 
a great height naturally that its flow- 
ers are rarely seen to advantage. 
When they are seen their beauty is 
universally acknowledged and those 
who see the illustration of it will say 
the same, and will agree that its name, 
tulip tree, is well bestowed. Its 
growth is rapid, its bark smooth and 
green and its foliage handsome. The 
tree illustrated is quite a young one, 
with an outline of growth entirely its 
own. Belonging to the family in 
which is the magnolia it partakes of 
the same character in its transplant- 
ing. To be successful, it must be
