height of 40 to 50 feet. Very large, heart-shaped leaves, borne 
on reddish stems, make this a most attractive and ornamental 
tree. The flowers are in loose clusters, of a greenish yellow, 
and very broken. They are inconspicuous. The orange-colored 
berries add to the beauty of this tree. Hardy at Philadelphia. 
Strong. 3- to 4-ft. trees, 50 cts. each, £4 for 10.

flowers, which completely envelop the entire head of the tree. 
The blooming season lasts three weeks. Becoming a great 
favorite for lawns and parks. We recommend this highly.
