CYPRESS, DECIDUOUS. The Cypress of southern swamps is hardy here, and is of very different expression grown in the open. It has light, cheerful, green foliage, of a ileecy texture. On heavj' soil it develops best. ELM. KORWAY MAPLE. WHITE PIKE. (Group of trees at WestburA-.) MAGNOLIA, Cucumber Tree {M. acuminata). A tall, symmetrical tree, resembling the tulip tree, to which it is related. It has yellow flowers, 3 inches long, followed by seed-vessels, which, when green, resemble a cucum- ber, and turn red later. SvT2Jtxv^ K^M. gla^ica). A small tree of much merit. It has cup-shaped, cream-colored flowers late in June, which are very fragrant, and are often sold on the streets of New York at that season. Umbrella /r?);'<?/<f/a). A broad, spreading little tree, with handsome large leaves and conspicuous white flow- ers. The fruit is a carmine-red cylinder 2 inches through and 6 inches long, out of which hang orange-red berries on silken threads. Larg-e-leaved (J/, macrophylla). For description, see under cut, page 10. ^^*The other varieties of Magnolia are usually grown in shrub form. See page 22. MAPLE. We believe our stock of Maples to be unequaled by any on the market. By several improvements in culture and prun- ing we produce a tree with a straight, stocky trunk, which will stand up under winds and the usual risks of the street; also a strong leader, or central branch, and a wide ovate top, whereby the tree can be trimmed up later as the lower branches spread over the street. A tree with single leader will bend with the wind, and not split like a tree with several leading branches. These trees are grown wide apart, and are dug with spade and fork, which leave abundant roots. Proper
