LAWN AND SHADE TREES. 
fragrant in some varieties, but not prominent in beauty or 
attractiveness. 
The Flowering Plum — Prunus . — Under the name of prunus 
trilobata a new dwarf shrub has been recently introduced that 
promises great beauty, from its bearing a profusion of delicate 
pink semi-double flowers of about one inch in diameter thickly 
spread upon its long and slender branches. It is yet rare, but 
will doubtless soon find a place in every garden, where it 
should have a conspicuous position. It is quite hardy. 
The Double-Flowering Plum — Prunus . — The double-flower- 
ing plum, or as often called sloe plum, is one of the finest small 
trees or large shrubs in the whole list. It is perfectly hardy ; 
forms a round, compact head, and when in bloom its mass of 
little white double daisy-like flowers makes it a most attractive 
and beautiful object. Our engraving was copied from a plant we 
set in 1853. It should have a place by itself, open, upon the lawn.
