App. iii. List of the Sorts of Yrdxinm and O'mus 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. excelsior. (See p. 1214.) The common oak varies as much in its foliage as the 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 maybe seen in Gard. Mag., vol. xii., by whip-grafting, but, by both modes, always with difficulty 

 and uncertainty.
