throw up suckers ; which convinces us that it is only a variety of that species. 
The propagation, culture, &c., of U. glabra and its varieties are the same as in 
the preceding sort ; but, to preserve the latter distinct, they ought to be grafted. 
Varieties. In consequence of U. glabra ripening seeds in different parts of 
England, many varieties have been raised from it, most of which are. distin- 
guished by great rapidity of growth. It is difficult to determine, in every 
case, whether the varieties of U.(m.) glabra are not nearer to U. montana, 
than to that sub-species ; and, in some instances, they appear to partake of 
the character of U. campéstris and U. (c.) suberdsa. T. A. Knight, Esq., 
informs us that from seeds of one variety of U. (m.) glabra, viz. the Down- 
ton elm, which were ripened in the cold climate of that part of Shropshire, 
he “raised plants which are so perfectly similar to the U. suberésa, and 
which approximate so nearly to the character of the U. glabra, that” he 
does “not doubt but that the U. campéstris, U.suberdsa, U. glabra, and 
three or four other varieties which” he has “ seen in different parts of 
England, are all varieties only of the same species.” 
A. Timber Trees. 
U. (m.) g. 1 vulgaris. The common smooth-leaved Elm. 
U. (m.) g. 2 végeta. U. montana végeta in the Horticultural Society’s 
Garden; U. americana Masters; the Huntingdon Elm, the Chi- 
chester Elm, the American Elm in some places, and perhaps the 
Scampston Elm. — This is by far the most vigorous-growing kind of 
elm propagated in British nurseries, often making shoots from 6 ft. to 
10 ft. in length in one season ; and the tree attaining the height of 
upwards of 30 ft. in ten years from the graft. Raised at Huntingdon 
about 1746, from seed collected in that neighbourhood, by Mr. 
Wood, nurseryman there. 
U. (m.) g. 3 var. The Scampston Elm. —Variety of U. glabra, and 
very little different from the preceding kind. 
U. (m.) g. 4 major. U. glabra major Hort. Dur. ; the Canterbury Seed- 
ling. — Of more vigorous growth than the species, and, indeed, a rivi:l 
to the Huntingdon elm in quickness of growth. Judging from the 
specimens of this variety sent to us by Mr. Masters, we should say 
-that it belongs fully as much to U. montana as to U. (m.) glabra. 
U. (m.) g. 5 glandulésa Lindl. — Leaves very glandular beneath. 
U. (m.) g. 6 latifolia Lindl. — Leaves oblong, acute, very broad. 
U. (m.) g. 7 microphylla Hort. U. g. parvifdlia..— Leaves small.

U. (m.) g. 8 péndula, U. campéstris péndula Hort. Dur.; the Down- 
ton Elm.— Raised in Smith’s Nursery, at Worcester, in 1810, 
from seeds obtained from a tree in Nottinghamshire. Mr. Knight 
of Downton Castle purchased some of these trees ; and one them 
turned out to be that weeping variety which has since obtained the 
name of the Downton elm. :

base, doubly and very argutely serrate ; above, deep green ; beneath, downy,
