AUGUST. 357 



is free and handsome, and its masses of foliage render it a 

 fine variety. 



The Cut-leaved Lime, (Tilia europtBa lasciniata.) — Not 

 quite so beautiful as the above sorts, as its foliage is not so 

 deeply cut ; but it forms a fine variety, -and its more formal 

 habit contrasts with the looser growing heads of other trees. 

 It does not attain a large size. 



The Cut-leaved Horsechestnut^ (jEscuIus lasciniata.) 

 A remarkably curious tree, and very interesting from the 

 contrast of its finely divided leaves with the broad and ample 

 foliage of the parent. No one would scarcely believe it to 

 belong to the horsechestnuts. 



The Cut-leaved Oak, ( Qiiercus pedimculata heterophyl- 

 la.) — A variety with deeply indented leaves, but not so 

 strikingly distinct as the beech or maple. It is, however, 

 a very fine tree. 



The Curled-leaved Elm, (Ulmus montana crispa.) — A 

 handsome variety, with very thick deep green foliage, finely 

 indented, and curiously curled or crimped on the margin of 

 the leaf. It is a slow growing tree, and an attractive addition 

 to any plantation. 



2. Trees with very large foliage. 



The Broad-leaved Lime, (Tilia platyphylla.) — A hand- 

 some tree, with very large, brdad foliage, measuring ten or 

 twelve inches in diameter. It has a loose, open habit, similar 

 to the American lime, and produces a beautiful effect upon the 

 lawn. 



The Large-leaved Elm, (Ulvius montana superha.) — A 

 seedling from the common Scotch elm, but with much larger, 

 smoother and handsomer leaves. It grows rapidly, and as the 

 foliage, like its parent, is not eaten by the canker worms, it 

 will undoubtedly become a favorite tree. 



The Large-leaved Maple, (Acer macrophyllum. ) — A 

 splendid tree, found by Douglas on the Columbia River. 

 The leaves are nearly double the size of any other maple, 

 and it forms a noble tree.
