To the improver of a new place, unacquainted with but few of our native trees, this will prove an article of interest. You will permit me to say that it would have added to its value had you designated the extent of room required for each tree.

I should like to suggest one or two more trees, which in planting new places of any extent, and even some of limited area, are extremely desirable. One is the Bird Cherry, a rapid-growing tree, with half drooping pensile spray, glossy, clean foliage, white flowers, and long clusters of black fruit. True, it is common in many of our fields, but that does not make it anything the less a tree of merit. It should have from twenty to thirty feet of room, or, in other words, should not be nearer than ten to fifteen feet from another tree - better to have more than less of room, as in time it comes to be quite large.

Another is, the Southern Cypress - Cu-pressus disticha. Also a rapid grower on moist, rich soils, and becoming a very large tree; but when grown in our common dry soils, it makes a tree of only, say, twenty to thirty feet high, very regular and beautiful in form, and with a delicate, yew-like foliage, always attractive.
