IiINDEN, Silver-leaved, or White. (See illustration on front cover page.) The three finest trees in our collection of large trees are the Silver-leaved Lin- den, the Tulip tree and the White Pine. The Linden has dark, glossy leaves, downy white beneath, which are retained through drought late into the autumn. The small, cream-colored flowers perfume the air in the vicinity of the tree with a spicy lemon fragrance. Weeping' Silver-leaved. A beautiful lawn tree, similar in form to the last.

LIQUIDAMBAR (Bilsted, or Sweet Gum). A fine, distinct tree, always growing well on lawn or street. The leaves are glossy, star-shaped and brilliant in autumn, with deep bronzy purple, red and yellow. The cork-ridged twigs and sturdy trunk make it picturesque. It is a tree of no bad qualities, and one in which the planter will take pride. Trans- plant in spring only. (See illustration, page 8.)

It is a tall, slender mass of pea-green foliage, interspersed with clusters of fragrant white flowers.
