This well known species forms a large-sized tree, of handsome, regular outline, is very hardy, and free from all diseases. In May it is covered with magnificent erect spikes or panicles of white flowers lightly marked with red. As a single lawn tree, or for the street, it has no superior. 50c. var. alba flore pleno. Double White- flowered Horse Chestnut. A. A superb variety, with double flowers, in larger panicles than the common sort, and of fine pyramidal habit. The absence of fruit by which much litter is avoided, is an important argument in favor of its employment. It is one of the best ornamental trees. $ Mr. Scott, in his interesting work entitled ' Suburban Home Grounds,' writes thus : ' Ellwanger & Barry, at Rochester, have a noble young specimen about forty feet high, which, in the blossoming season, is like a verdant tower, spangled all over with hyacinth bouquets.' var. Memmingerii. Memminger's Hoksf. Chestnut. B. The foliage of this variety is completely dotted or spi'inkled with white. The effect thus produced is very novel and ornamental. The tree being of handsome, compact growth, is very desirable for the lawn. $ var. rubicunda. Red-flowered Horse Chestnut. B. Origin obscure. One of the finest trees in cultivation; form round; flowers showy red ; blooms a little later than the white, and the leaves are of a deeper green. One of the most valuable ornamental trees. The white-flowered and this contrast well when planted together. # var. Brioti. B. A variety of the preceding with darker flowers. $ JE. turbinata. A. Japanese species. Very large foliage ; distinct and fine ; rare. /E. umbraculifera. C. Of pyramidal compact habit; a moderate grower. $ For Smooth-Fruited Horse Chestnut see Pavia. RED-FLOWERED HORSE CHESTNUT.
