In the garden of Mr. E. Harcourt, at St. Clare, in the Isle of Wight, there is just now a Judas tree, Cercis siliquastrum, in blossom which is worth a pilgrimage to see. It would hold its own even in the environs of Smyrna. The tree is 18 feet high, and the circumference of its branches is about 75 feet. At this present moment it is laden with blossom, and its kind of ruby-red against the dark foliage of a tall Pinus insig-nis, which grows close by, is most striking to look at. - H. E., in Garden.
