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 ornamental 

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

 planters to them as follows : Berardi and Viminalis are unique miniature varieties. The Nettle-k-a ved has beautiful 

 and curious leaves. The Monumental is of dwarf, conical habit, novel and distinct. The Variegated-leaved, Pur- 

 ple-leaved, Pyramidal, 0.co)!!C7!.se and Webbiana, are all choice sorts. Dovmi 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 -vvhich 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. 



*U. campestris. English Elm. B. An erect, lofty tree, of rapid, compact growth, with smaller and more regu- 

 larly 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. Belgica. B. A fine variety, of large size, rapid growth, and fine spreading shape. Valuable for street 

 planting. $1.00. 



var. Berardi. C. A miniature variety of the Elm. Tree of small size, slender growth, pyramidal habit, with 



deeply and delicately cut foliage ; beautiful and distinct. $1.00. 

 var. Clemmeri. B. Of medium size, moderate growth and fine form. Much used in Belgium for planting- 



aiong avenues. $1.00. 



var. cornubiensis. CORNISH Elji. B. A fine, upright branched variety of the English, of more vigorous 

 growth. $1.00.
