468 LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 



white as the Silver poplar. The Yellow-berried, the Large- 

 fruited gray, the Large-fruited red, and the Large-fruited rose, 

 are all deserving notice where there is ample space for planting. 



Tilia. LIME on LINDEN. , 



The only varieties of value to add to those previously enu- 

 merated in this book, are T. laciniata (Cut or Jagged-leaf lin- 

 den), with the leaves curiously cut ; and T. pendula alba 

 (Weeping White linden), of a very pendulous habit, and the 

 under part of the leaf very silvery. We esteem this one of 

 the most, if not the most ornamental of the lindens. 



Ulmus. ELM. 



There are a good many new elms lately introduced, which 

 are quite remarkable in their habit, and distinctive in appear- 

 ance ; among them are two Scotch varieties of weeping elms, 

 the Scampston (of which Fig. 92 is a portrait), and Carnperdown, 

 both somewhat allied in appearance, though the first is the most 

 remarkable, having fine coarse foliage, and the most extraor 

 dinary droop to the branches ; so much and so regular and 

 formal is their inclination, that it is difficult to believe artificial 

 means have not been resorted to. When grafted as it should 

 be, fifteen to twenty feet high, the branches make a curvilinear 

 droop to the ground, with a growth so regular and symmetrical 

 as to give the whole tree the appearance of a gigantic arbor ; 

 regularly trained and trimmed, and by making an arched open- 

 ing on one side, it can be well used for this purpose, the thick 

 umbrageous character of the leaves producing the most agree- 

 able and dense shade. 



The only material difference between this tree and U. Gam- 

 perdown, is that this last is of a more open, loose foliage, and 

 rather less regular in the droop of the branches. They are 

 both, however, very fine trees and well worthy the most pro- 

 minent positions in the lawn care being taken that they shall 

 have ample space for their development.
