Ornamental Trees, Flowering Shrubs, Etc. 17 LIQUIDAMBAR. Sweet Gum Large trees, with curious, star-shaped handsome leaves and rough, corky bark, both on the main stem and branches. Native of North America and very common at the south in low, moist ground. L. styraciflua. Sweet Gum. One of our most beau- tiful and deserving native trees. It is a rapid grower when once established and has elegant, glossy, deeply-lobed foliage, forming a rounded, spreading head. The autumnal tints are gorgeous. LIRIODENDRON. Tulip Tree A small genus, possibly consisting of but one species, native of North America. Belonging to the Magnolia family, it is no mean representative of that elegant group of ornamental trees. It is of the largest size, with large, glabrous foliage and beautiful greenish yellow flowers. L. Tulipifera. Yellow Poplar. This grand Amer- ican tree is unequaled when permitted sufficient space to develop its proportions. As a large lawn tree it has no imperfections, and should be included in the smallest list of showy flowering species. MAGNOLIA Magnolia This magnificent family is indeed diffi- cult to surpass in the flora of the world. Taking into considera- tion their rapidity of growth, clean, healthy foliage, beautiful flow- ers, regularity of form, comparative freedom from insects and dis- ease, and, lastly, their general hardiness, we cannot say too much in their favor. Sec. I. American Species M. acuminata. Cucum- ber Tree. One of our largest native trees, forming a straight trunk, with oval, light green leaves and greenish yellow flow- ers in June. It is one of the most esteemed specimens for large lawns, is of rapid, upright growth, and quite hardy and re- liable in good soil. M. cordata. Yellow- Floweri
