Alberti, a rare and delightful white-blossomed shrub, is fortunately also hardy, and may be described as superior to the type. Fagus.—For pleasure-ground planting the Beech {Fagus sylvatica) is well known. It is seen to the best advantage in sandy soil with a calcareous bottom. In early spring the tender green foliage is very pleasing, and towards the fall of the leaf the colour varies to chestnut-brown. The Beech makes a good hedge plant. F. s. argentea variegata is distinct and effective; leaves broad, green, and finely-striped with white; it is late in unfolding its buds in spring. F. s. hetero- phylla (F. laciniatd), the fern-leaved variety, is charming, and grows well. F. s. macrophylla (F. latifolid), with its bold leaves, is very handsome, and deserves to be largely grown; it is a vigorous grower and requires plenty of head room. F. s. atro-purpurea is un- questionably one of the most ornamental of purple-leaved trees; it is as free in growth as the type, and much more beautiful. F. s. tricolor is showy and distinct, with large purple leaves streaked and margined with rose-pink; it is very attractive in a young state, while F. s. grandidentata and F. s. aureo-variegata are deserving of mention. Forsythias are delightful April-flowering shrubs, suitable for many purposes; they all bear an abundance of yellow bell-shaped flowers, and are of easy culture. On account of its low growth, F. viridissima, introduced from Japan in 1845, is well adapted for planting as a' margin to the shrubbery. Beyond doubt, however, the most useful, as well as the most beautiful, species is F. suspensa (F. Fortunei and F. Sieboldi) (Fig. 247). Its graceful, arching shoots, often 6ft. long, create a pleasing effect in spring, when clothed with golden-yellow flowers. It is use- ful for covering pillars and running over verandahs, as well
