Under this heading are embraced some of the most charming early spring1 flowering shrubs. Prunus triloba, or the Double-flowered Plum, as it is commonlv called, and the Double-flowered Almonds, produce in remarkable pro- fusion, perfectlv double, finelv formed flowers of most attractive colors. At the blossoming season each little tree appears like one mass of bloom, forming a most beautiful and interesting object, whether planted singly upon the lawn or in groups. As the Almond and Plum flower at the same time, they can be massed very effectively. Both are hardy and of fine habit. P. Ja
