. British trees. Trees. THE PR1ET.. GENERAL REMARKS. F the winter-season has nothing to show comparable for gaiety of colouring to the spring-tiowers, or tor richness to the fruits of the autumn hedgerow, a whole gradation of tones, delicate and unobtrusive are peculiarly its own. Silver-grey on the bark ot Rowan-tree or Ash-sapling; the mealy stems of the wayfaring tree, or the yellow tints ot the Elder-berry ; the red and purple of Maple or Cherry or the nut-brown of the Hazel tree.
