Salisburia adiantifolia. Maiden Hair Tree. Hardy deciduous tree. Layers. Common soil. "The Salis-buria is a native of Japan and China, and forms a large tree in its native country. Bunge, who accompanied the Russian mission to China, states, that he saw one with a trunk nearly forty feet in circumference. Mr. Loudon says, the tree grows with considerable rapidity in the climate of London, and has attained the height of forty or fifty feet, in as many years. The longevity of the Salisburia promises to be great, as the largest trees in England continue to grow with as much vigour, as when newly planted. The highest tree there, planted in 17(i7, was, in 1S3S, above sixty feet.

"It was introduced into the United States, by Mr. Hamilton, in 1784, and the tree now growing at the Woodlands, near Philadelphia, is, doubtless, the one then imported. A specimen at the Landreth Nurseries, when planted is unknown, has attained the height of 50 feet and continues in fine health. There is also one of considerable size in the Mall, at Boston." - Comp.
