 and dasystyla.

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



Many of the Elms are so well known 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 Webbiana 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, superba 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. B. The noble spreading and drooping tree of 

 our own forests. 50c. 

 var. nana. Dwarf American Elm. Very dwarf and compact. $1.00.
