Trees and shrubs : an abridgment of the Arboretum et fruticetum britannicum : containing the hardy trees and schrubs of Britain, native and foreign, scientifically and popularly described : with their propagation, culture and uses and engravings of nearly all the species. Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. Distinguished from A. riibrum by the leaves being more decidedly 5- lobed, the lobes deeply cut, and the whole leaf more tomentose. A very desir- able species, from the ra- pidity of its growth, the graceful divergent direction of its branches, the beauty of its leaves, and the pro- fusion of its early flowers. In mild seasons, these flow- ers begin to burst from their buds in the first week in January ; and they are often fully expanded by the end of February or beginning of March. It requires a deep free soil, and more moisture than most of the other species. It ripens its seeds, both in America and Britain, by midsummer, or earlier ; and, if these are immediately sown, they come up, and produce plants which are 8 or 10 inches high by the succeeding autumn. 5 14.
