OXYDENDRUM . The Sorrel-Tree 
Of our smaller native trees, this is one of the most beautiful. Its tassels of white 
flowers come in Summer against splendid shining foliage. They become yellow tassels 
of fruit against the glowing crimson of the Autumn leaves.

PARROTIA . The Persian Ironwood 
If it is surprising to find bloom on a tree in midwinter, this tree furnishes the surprise. 
Its foliage is excellent in Summer and brilliantly colored in the Fall. In its native country, 
which we once called Persia but is now named Iran, its tough twigs have many uses. 
They are twisted into cables for foot-bridges over mountain torrents.

PAULOWNIA . The Empress Tree 
This tree is conspicuous in every way. Its leaves are large and exotic; its light purple 
flowers are large and abundant; its trunk and spreading branches are large and dominant. 
It originally came from China, but has escaped from cultivation, and only when the 
great panicles of flowers, in May, pick it out of the landscape, do we realize how wide 
and general is this escape.
