(A specimen in West Chester.) SORBUS. Mountain Ash This group of showy trees was formerly included in the genus Pyrus, but we follow the latest authorities in separating them. It is rather a small genus, native of the northern temperate zone, and valued for the beauty of its fruit. S. Americana. American Mountain Ash. A small tree, with smooth bark and bright green, pinnate leaves. The greatest beauty of this species consists in the large clusters of brilliant red berries. Due care should be observed to destroy the "borers" which infest the entire family. S. Aucuparia. European Mountain Ash. This differs from the above in having pubescent leaves and clusters of orange-colored fruit. It is a valuable tree for planting near the seacoast, as it resists the salt air well. The large cymes of white flowers are very attractive. var. pendula. Weeping Mountain Ash. A curious and formal variety of the above, which, when grown as a standard, presents a decidedly pendulous habit. The foliage, flowers and fruit, are in all essential points similar to the parent. vat. quercifolia. Oak-Leaved Mountain Ash. An exceedingly distinct and quite handsome tree of medium size. It is an erect grower, with deeply lobed leaves, green above and grayish pubescent beneath. Hardy and vigorous. TAXODIUM. Deciduous Cypress A small genus of American trees belonging to the Conifers, although its leaves are deciduous. The light green, airy foliage is 2-ranked and linear. Trees are of large growth, very erect and conical in outline, with straight trunks. Found in low, swampy soil. T. distichum. Bald Cypress. A native of our southern states, but entirely hardy and very
