These are all Of large growth and size.
For smaller trees, which viii adu,it Of
planting nearer the hoIse, purchase Abies
Alba, or European Double White sprcce,
a beautiful tree Of very pact hab;t, and
peculiar tint, the unrivalled Deodar Cedar,
Cryptomeria Japonica from Japan, proved
to be ertitely hardy here. There IS moth
irg ye. known we think to equal these two
last. For evergreen sirul5ery, to Gil ju-

nurseries for English and Irish few,
American Arbor Vitn, Euonymus, Amer.
lean, Irish and Swedish jumpers, Thuja
Plicata, very beautiful species Of Arbor
Vi,a, also Mah5nia, Tree Box, of which
there are several species, ell beautiful, ,aad
American Holly The latter Is somewhat
difficult to plant, but is SO beautiful in its
green leaves and scarlet berries, hanging
on all winter, as to pay well FOX extra
pains and expense.

Silver Maple, Silver Poplar and Pawlohia.
These are very rapid growers, the Poplar
however being somewhat Objectionable
from liability to sucker. This will nos
interfere with it for street planting. Tc
those, however, who can afford to be
somewhat patient and wait little longer
for more desirable trees, BIZ. slower growth,
who will be satisfied with acquiring beau
tiful shade ct a pace Of thirty miles an
hour instead of sixty, we recommend, by
all means, three species Of Maple as Dos
being surpassed BY any other shade trees
Aeer Saccharinum, (Sugar Maple,) Acet
Pla,anoides, Norway Maple,) Acer Pscs-
udo Platanus, European Sycamore or
English Maple. These are all Of the very
first class. Add to them, English Horse
Chesnut, which, however, loses its leaves
too soon and suffers rather E,uch from
no. weather, and Tulip Poplar, not half
so much planted as i; deserves, also the
many beautiful species Of ash, Magnolia
Acuminata, Tripetala, and Macrophy liza,
the different species of oak much under
valued and very Ornamental, also Tiiia
Americana, American Linden, Willows
and Deciduous Cypress, European Whiie
Birch and Larches. For second size Of
Deciduous trees and shrubs obtain Rham-

Halesia or Silver Bell, Laburnum, Purple
Beech, Judas t.ees, Rhus Cotinus or Mist
