1 0 8 Andromeda arborea.
Sorrel Tree, though it attains a considerable diameter, has a soft,
reddish kind of wood, of no value in the arts, nor is it, from the difficulty
with which it burns, of any account for fuel. As an ornamental
tree, how'ever, it is certainly worthy of attention, and will grow very
far to the north of its natural situations, and flowers at the height
of five or six feet. It is cultivated in Bartram’s gardens, on the
Schuylkill, and in those of Messrs. Landreth. From specimens obtained
in these places the drawing has been made.
The plate resembles a flowering twig, of its natural size.
