TILIA. Linden or Lime Tree 
The Lindens are all beautiful and merit more attention than they receive. In addition to many other valuable quali- 
ties which they possess, their flowers yield a delicate perfume. Of those named below, a few possessing special merit 
might be mentioned; viz., Red Fern-leaved, White-leaved, and dasystyla. 
*T. Americana. American LinpeN or Basswoop. B. A rapid growing, large-sized, beautiful native 
tree, with very large leaves and fragrant flowers. 50c. 
T. dasystyla. B. A vigorous tree, with cordate, dark green glossy leaves, and bright yellow bark 
in winter. A superb tree. One of the finest Lindens. $1.00. 
T. Europza. European Linpen. B. A very fine pyramidal tree of large size, with large leaves 
and fragrant flowers. 50c. 
var. alba. (argentea.) Wutre-teavep European Linpen. B. From Hungary.. A vigorous 
growing tree, of medium size and pyramidal form, with cordate acuminate leaves, downy beneath 
and smooth above. It is particularly noticeable among trees by its white appearance. Its hand- 
some form, growth and foliage render it worthy, in our opinion, to be classed among the finest of 
our ornamental trees. $1.00. 
var. laciniata rubra. Rep Fery-1eavep Linpen. B. An elegant tree, of pyramidal compact 
habit. Bark on young wood rose-colored, and foliage deeply cut. One of the finest trees for the 
lawn. $1.00. ; 
*var. platiphylla. Broap-1eavep Evropean Linpen. B. A tree of about the same size as T. 
Europea, but readily distinguished from it by its larger and rougher leaves. This is the variety 
usually sold for European, as the growth is more regular than the smaller leaved. 50c. 
ULMUS. Elm 
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 recognition, and we therefore invite the attention of planters to them as fol- 
lows: Of the European varieties Dovai is a very erect, rapid growing sort, with smooth bark and large dark green leaves ; 
valuable for avenue planting. Superba and Huntingdon are also suited to the same purpose. We grow the American, 
than which there is no finer tree, on an extensive scale, for street and park planting. 
*U. Americana. American Wuite or Weepine Erm. A. ‘The noble spreading and drooping tree of 
our own forests. 50c. 
*U. campestris. Eneriso Erm. B. An erect, lofty tree, of rapid, compact growth, with smaller 
and more regularly cut leaves than those of the American, and darker colored bark. The branches 
project from the trunk almost at right angles, giving the tree a noble appearance. $1.00. 
var. Dampierreii aurea. Damprerre’s Gotpen Erm. C. A very striking variety; foliage of a 
bright golden color, center of the leaf yellowish green; a strong grower. $1.00.
