568 Priced List of Trees^ 



turned practical botany into ridicule. According to our ideas 

 of a species, there is none whicli may not be distinguished, as 

 such, in the seed before it is sown, and in the infancy and ma- 

 turity of the plant, and at every season of the year. We are 

 aware that this will not be agreed to by many acute botanists ; 

 but we shall hereafter, in the Arboretum Britamiicum, explain 

 ourselves at length, and trust to the common sense of our readers. 



There is one difficulty attending the following list, whicli we 

 must not conceal from our readers; it is, that there are not two 

 gardens or nurseries in the neighbourhood of London, in which 

 the same names are applied to the same things. This applies 

 more particularly to the genera T'ilia, Gleditsch/a, Pyrus, 

 Cratae^gus, i^raxinus, C/lmus, iSalix, Populus, ^'Inus, ^etula, 

 Carpinus, O'strya, Quercus, Pagus, and Pin us. 



If the Horticultural Society had acted as judiciously and 

 actively with respect to the trees in their arboretum, as they have 

 done in the case of their fruit trees in the orchard, that garden 

 might have been referred to as a standard ; but at present the 

 names in it are, in many instances, and in particular in all the 

 genera above mentioned, not more accurate than they are in 

 some of the nurseries. 



Notwithstanding this however, the purchaser will, in general, 

 find the names of most of the species in the following list correct ; 

 and he must trust to time, and an increasing knowledge of the 

 subject among gardeners and nurserymen, for the rest. 



Those species or varieties which are rather scarce are distin- 

 guished in the following list by a star. They are still, however, 

 procurable in some nurseries, at moderate prices, though we 

 cannot state exactly what these prices are. Some genera, as 

 Acacia and Eucalyptus, we have omitted, as being too tender 

 for the country in general ; and others, as Araiicdria and Al- 

 tingm, as being too dear.
