Indian Bean
Indian Bean (Catalpa Bignonioides) - A handsome tree, hardy in S. Britain and the kind which flowers so well in London. There is no more precious lawn tree for good shade and flowering at a season when all the early trees are out of flower. It is best propagated by seed, and is not difficult about soil. N.America.
Catawba Tree
Catawba Tree (Catalpa Speciosa) - A forest tree in America, westwards, and is little known in England yet, though promising to be a forest tree; reaches 120 feet high in its own country. It deserves a very good position among the best flowering trees for lawn or for a grove. C. Bungei and C. Kampferi are two other kinds known in gardens, both inferior in size to the foregoing trees, and less attractive unless where collections are desired.
