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 ^vhich 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 Lindex or Basswood. B. A rapid growing, large-sized, beautiful native 



tree, with very large leaves and fragrant flowers. 50c. 

 T. dasystyla. B. A vigorous tree, v%ith cordate, dark green glossy leaves, and bright yellow bark 



in winter. A superb tree. One of the finest Lindens. 81.00. 

 T. Europaea. Eiropeax Lixbex. B. A very fine pyramidal tree of large size, with large leaves 

 and fragrant flowers. 50c. 

 var. alba, (argentea.^ White-leaved Europeax Lixdex. 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. -Si. 00. 

 var. laciniata rubra. Red Ferx-eeaved Lixdex. B. An elegant tree, of pyramidal compact 

 habit. Bark on yoimg wood rose-colored, and foliage deeply cut. One of the finest trees for the 

 lawn. SI. 00. 

 *var. platiphylla. Broad-i.eaved Europeax Lixdex. B. A tree of about the same size as T. 

 Europr^a, 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 unnecessarj^ to refer to their beauty and value for ornamental planting. But 

 several verj- desirable kinds fail to receive due recognition, and we therefore invite the attention of planters to them as fol- 

 lows : Of the European varieties Dovoei is a verj' 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. Americax White or Weepixg Elm. A. The noble spreading and drooping tree of 



our own forests. 50c. 

 ^U. campestris. Exglish Elm. B. An erect, lofty tree, of rapid, compact gro\^i:h, 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. 81.00.

 bright golden color, center of the leaf yellowish green; a strong grower. 81.00.
