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 fail to receive due recog- 

 nition, and we therefore mvite the attention of planters to them as follows: Berardi a.Ti6. 

 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 Wehbiana. are all choice sorts. Dovai is a 

 very erect, rapid-growing sort, -with smooth bark and large dark-green leaves; valuable for 

 avenue planting. Belgica and Huntingdon 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. The noble spread- 

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