In the cold climate of Orel we saw a tree 35 feet in height, but I do not remember it farther north. It has long narrow leaves, white on under side, bright and pretty. Of its blossom and fruit I cannot speak. E. longtpe, of Japan, we saw at Kew ; a shrub six feet high, bearing large quantities of spotted red berries, like oblong cran- Digitized by Go...ogle 17 berries. At Verrieres, in the garden of M.
