ULMUS. Elm. Ulme, Ger. Orme, Fr. 



Rev. Henry Ward Beeclier, in "Norwood," refers to the oeauty of these trees in the follow- 

 ing words : "No town can fail of oeauty, though its walks were gutters, and its houses hovels, 

 if venerahle trees make magnificent colonnades along its streets. Of all trees no other unites 

 in the same degree, majesty and oeauty, grace and grandeur, as the American Elm. Known 

 from North to south, through a range of twelve hundred miles, and from the Atlantic to the 

 head waters which flow into the western side of the Mississippi, yet, in New England the Elm 

 is found in its greatest size and oeauty, fully justifying Michaux's commendation of it to Euro- 

 pean cultivators as the most magnificent vegetable of the temperate zone."
