 and dasystyla.

 growing tree, of medium size and p}Tamidal form, "\\-ith cordate acuminate leaves, downy beneath

 ornamental trees. Si.oo.

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



Many of the Elms are so well kno-v^m that it is unnecessary to refer to their beauty and value for orna- 

 mental planting. But several very desirable kinds fail to receive due recognition, and we therefore invite the 

 attention of planters to them as f Hows: Berardi and Viminalis are unique miniature varieties. The Nettle- 

 leaved has beautiful and curious leaves. The Monumental is of dwarf, conical habit, novel and distinct. 

 The Variegated-leaved, Purple-leaved, Pyramidal, Oxoniense and IVebbiana are all choice sorts. Doz'cei is a 

 verv- erect, rapid gro%\-ing sort, \s-ith smooth bark and large dark-green leaves; valuable for avenue planting. 

 Beigica, superba and Huttthtgdon are also suited to the same purpose. We, of course, grow the American, 

 than which there is no finer tree, on an extensive scale, for street and park planting. 



*U. Americana. American White or Weeping Elm. B. The noble spreading and drooping tree of 

 our own forests. 50c. 

 var. nana. Dwarf American Elm. Very dwarf and compact. Si.oo.
