Tilia-The  Lindens 
These  are  among  our  best  large -growing  street  and  avenue  trees.  They  make 
a  strong,  rapid  growth,  form  noble  heads  of  rounded  outline,  and  cast  a  dense, 
cool  shade.  Their  light  yellow  flowers  have  a  delightful  citron  odor  and  are  much 
loved  by  the  bees.    The  leaves  are  large  and  cordate.

white  lining  of  its  leaves.  "No  summer  odor  is 
quite  so  fresh  and  uncloying  as  that  of  the 
blossoming  Lime.    No  wonder  the  honey  made

Ulmus-The  Elms 
In  landscape  planting  the  Elm  is  the  most  generally  useful  of  all  our  trees. 
Its  branches  spread  in  grand  gothic  lines  and  are  followed  by  a  heavy  drooping 
fringe  of  twigs.  Where  given  room  to  develop  it  forms  majestic  specimens  of 
gigantic  size  and  retains  its  beauty  and  vigor  almost  as  long  as  the  oaks.  All  the 
Elms  grow  rapidly. 
U.  Americana.  American  Elm.  There  is  no 
finer  tree,  on  an  extensive  scale,  for  wide  lawns, 
parks,  public  grounds,  and  avenue  planting. 
It  is  graceful  and  beautiful  to  a  wonderful 
degree  and  quite  untroubled  by  the  beetles  that 
molest  some  foreign  sorts.  8  to  10  ft.,  $1  each, 
|io  per  doz.,  $75  per  100;  10  to  12  ft.,  $1.50 
each,  $15  per  doz.,  $100  per  100;  12  to  14  feet, 
$2;  14  to  16  feet,  $3  to  $4. 
U.  campestris.  English  Elm.  Equally  fine  and 
imposing  but  has  a  more  open  top,  smaller, 
more  regularly  cut  leaves,  darker  bark  and 
heavier  twig  fringes.  A  substantial  and  valu- 
able tree  for  parks.  8  to  9  ft.,  $1 ;  10  to  12  ft., 
$1.50;  12  to  15  ft.,  $2.50. 
U.  montana  pendula.  Camperdown  Weeping 
Elm.  Described  under  Trees  of  Drooping 
Habit.  $1.50. 
All  fruit  and  shade  trees  should  be  trimmed  when  they  are  planted.  Cut  back  the  previous 
year's  growth  one-half  its  length  at  least  ;  frequently  it  is  best  to  remove  even  more  than  this  in 
standard  trees,  in  order  to  form  rounded  or  low  pyramidal  heads.  Trim  dwarf  trees  into  pyramids, 
with  the  lowest  branches  not  more  than  2  or  3  feet  from  the  ground  ;  prune  all  bruised  or  broken 
roots.  Our  trees  reach  purchasers  with  roots  well  protected  and  we  cannot  too  greatly  emphasize 
the  importance  of  keeping  them  protected  as  much  as  possible  while  they  are  out  of  the  ground.
