The best are the Norway, White, Black and Colorado.

SWEET GUM.—This tree is especially suitable to the southern states, where, in artistic effect, it takes the place of the Sugar maple in the north. Where it succeeds well it may be planted in masses of almost any size.

SYCAMORE, Plane tree or Buttonwood.—The America sycamore is one of the very finest street trees we have, as one will readily believe after seeing it on the Capitol grounds at Washington. It is also useful in general park composition, the striking color and texture of its foliage marking it for special notice. It is not hardy north of Vermont, and not at its best north of Pennsylvania.

THORN TREES.—The various species of the genus Cratægus make fine additions to lawn plantings, their effect being usually somewhat picturesque. Their small size adapts them to certain positions. Among the best native species may be named Cratægus crusgalli, .C. tomentosa, and C. coccinea. The English hawthorn, C, oxyacantha, is sometimes planted in this country with fair success.

TULIP TREE, Liriodendron tulipifera.—This is a good tree for situations where something large is required. It may be massed in any quantity. Prefers good soil.

WALNUT.—The common Black walnut makes a fine tree, though it is slow of growth. The Japanese walnuts may sometimes be planted to advantage. The common butternut seldom makes a good tree, but it has characteristic foliage which makes it useful for planting with other trees.

WILLOW.—Many of the willows are useful, especially on low, moist land. The best are Royal willow, Salix regalis, the Shining willow, S. lucida, the Laurel-leaved willow, S. laurifolia, and the Golden willow, S. vittelina aurea. The Babylon willow is good in spite of its weeping habit. In general, weeping willows are to be avoided, unless an exception be made for cemeteries.
