03 .k British, {Qtiercus Rohur.') Leaves gloss)" green, remaining on the trees un¬ 
til late in the Fall. The tree somewhat resembles the “White Oak.”

leaves. Very distinct. 75 cents to $2. 
Poplar SiLViiR-LEAVED ; Aijele, (^Popnlus alba.') A tree of remarkably rapid 
growth. At a distance, the white under surface of the leaves, turned up 
by the wind, gives it somewhat the aspect of a tree covered with white 
blossoms. It retains its foliage in Autumn long after the leaves of other 
kinds of trees have fallen. It has a bad habit of “suckering.”

green foliage, and white, pea-blossom shaped flowers. 
Sweet Gum Tree {Liquidamber styracifna.) Downing says: “We hardly know 
a more beautiful tree than the Liquidamber, in every stage of its growth 
and during every season of the year.” Not unlike the Maple in gen¬ 
eral appearance.

over ten or twelve feet in height; irregularly branched, large pin¬ 
nate leaves ; fruit forms in compact oval or oblong clusters, of a bright
