App. iii. List of the Sorts of Fraxinus and Ovrnus in the Arbo- 
retum of Messrs. Loddiges, and in the Chiswick Garden, arranged 
alphabetically under the different Species to which they are pre- 
sumed to belong. 
The names which are applied to the same plants in the Arboretum Britannicum and in the 
arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges, or the Chiswick Garden, are in small capitals. The synonymes, when 
more than one, are in Italics.

Many of the names given in the above Appendixes, as placed against plants in the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden, and in Messrs, Loddiges’s arboretum, are, doubtless, synonymes for the same sort ; 
nevertheless, this is not the case to such an extent as might at first sight be supposed; for the 
European and American ashes vary so much in their foliage, that many of the varieties are remark- 
ably distinct ; and all of them are beautiful. To close observers of nature, the common British ash 
varies exceedingly in its foliage ; not only where it occurs in native woods, but in artificial plantations ; 
and it is not, therefore, to be wondered at, that the American ash is equally subject to variation. The 
worst circumstance connected with the culture of the ash is, that it will only thrive in certain soils 
and situations ; and we would, therefore, recommend those who wish to possess complete collections 
of thriving trees to be particular in choosing such a soil and situation for them as is found congenial 
to F. excélsior, (See p. 1214.) The common oak varies as much in its foliage asthe common ash ; and it 
may be asked by the general reader, how it happens, that, while there are upwards of a score of 
varieties of the latter for sale in the nurseries, there is not more than one or two of the former. 
The reason is, the ash propagates freely by budding and grafting ; but the oak by neither of these 
modes, except with extreme difficulty. Were it not for this, the varieties of the common and Turkey 
oaks, propagated for sale in the nurseries, would be ten times more numerous than those of the com- 
mon and American ashes. It is true, the oak is propagated by inarching, and even occasionally, as 
it may be seen in Gard, Mag., vol. xii., by whip-grafting, but, by both modes, always with difficulty 
and uncertainty.
