American Red and Scarlet Oaks; the Tupelo, bronzy red; Carya tomentosa, yellow (one of the most remark-able of American trees) ; Ulmus pumila, an Asiatic Elm which has small leaves changing to golden yellow ; Liquidambar, purplish red ; Gleditschia triacanthos, often a lovely yellow ; Celtis occidentalis (Nettle-tree) and Zelkowas, both yellow ; the Golden Larch ( Pseudolarix) ; Ginkgo biloba, orange yellow; deciduous Cypress, red; various Maples ; Betula corylifolia, orange yellow. Among shrubs a few of the best are: Berberis Thunbergi, which dies off a rich scarlet, and is so beautiful in autumn that on some estates it has been planted in great quantity so that sportsmen may enjoy its colour during the shooting season ; Ghent Azaleas, purple and red; Enkianthus, scarlet and crimson; Fothergilla, rich red; the taller American Vacciniums ; Rhus cotinoides, orange, scarlet, and crimson— perhaps the finest of all shrubs for autumn colour ; R. typhina, R. glabra, R.

Romaneti ; the Teinturier grape, purple, and various other Vines ; Veitch's Ampelopsis and the Virginian Creeper, especially the variety of the latter called mural is, which climbs and clings to walls without any artificial support; Lonieera japonica flexuosa, red-purple. A cer- tain amonnt of mystery attends the autumn colouring of trees. Some years the most reliable will fail. On the other hand, every season one notices species, not usually conspicuous in the matter of autumn tints, beautifully coloured. A bright summer and not too rich soil appear to be most favourable.
