Ing really good trees here. Tilia 

 iaponica, which has been growinR In 

 the Arboretum for twenty-five years, 

 although still a small 'tree, is, how- 

 ever, perfectly healthy; it is related 

 to the small-leaved Linden of Europe 

 (T. cordata) and, lilte that tree, is one 

 of the latest Lindens to flower here. 

 The graceful drooping branches and 

 pale under surface of the leaves malte 

 this small tree attractive, and it is the 

 first oC the Lindens here to unfold its 

 leaves in the spring. The common 

 Linden of the north (T. glabra or 

 (imcricana) as was recently explained 

 In one of these Bulletins, is not as 

 good a tree here as several of the 

 European species, but there are other 

 American Lindens which have been 

 overlooked by American planters, and 

 misunderstood or neglected by Ameri- 

 can botanists, and among them are 

 handsome trees. Some of these are 

 growing in the Arboretum, and it is 

 not improbable that the collection will 

 be Improved at the end of a few years 

 when it is hoped the American Lin- 

 dens will be better known. 



Lindens have always been more 

 valued as ornamental and shade trees 

 In Europe than in the United States. 

 No other trees have been more gen- 

 erally planted In some of the countries 

 of central Europe, and in these coun- 

 tries attention has been paid to the 

 collection and perpetuation of several 

 interesting and valuable varieties and 

 hybrids. The Arboretum collection 

 now contains forty-five species, varie- 

 ties and hybrids. Many of these trees 

 have flowered for several years, and 

 some of them are large enough to 

 show the habit of the different species 

 ■when thirty or forty years old. Judg- 

 ing by the Arboretum collection, the 

 handsomest of these trees which can 

 he grown in this part of the country 

 are the European T. vulgaris. T. ror- 

 data T. fomentosa, and T. petiolaris 

 and the American T. hrteroph)/lla. T. 

 'Michaurii and T. neglect a, and the 

 hybrid T. spectaHVs. This tree is be- 

 lieved to be a hybrid of T. americana 

 with T. petiolaris or T. tomentosa. It 

 has leaves as large as those of the 

 American tree but silvery white on 

 the lower surface. The variety VoUkri 

 has rather thicker hut equally large 

 leaves. — Arnold Arboretum Bulletin.
