Many of the Elms are so well known that it is unnecessary to refer to their beauty and 

 value for ornamental planting-. But several very desirable kinds tail to receive due recog-- 

 nition, and we therefore invite the attention of planters to them as follows. Berardi and 

 viminalis are unique miniature varieties. The Nettle-leaved has beautiful and curious 

 leaves. The Jlonumental is of dwarf, conical habit, novel and distinct. The Varieg-ated 

 has beautiful blotched foliag-e, of which the varieg-ation is constant. The Weeping- Small- 

 leaved, Purple-leaved, Pyramidal, Oxoniense and Webbiana, are all choice sorts. Dova*i is a 

 very erect rapid growing- sort, with smooth bark and lai'g-e dark-green leaves ; valuable for 

 iwenue planting-. Belg'ica and Hunting-don are also suited to the same purpose. We, of 

 course, g-row the American, than which there is no finer tree, on an extensive scale, for 

 street and park planting-.

 ing and drooping tree of our own forests. 50 cents to $1.00.
