A few good specimens have survived, proving the possibility of accli- mating the tree in the northern States. Fine specimens may be seen in the New York Central Park, where, with the excellent judgment characteristic of the management of that ground, these trees seem to have had no check in their liealthy growth, and they stand in the most open and exposed localities. The early growth of the tree is very much like that of the catalpa and ailantus, and if planted in rich soils the leaves and canes are immense.
