JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Quercus pedunculata (Common Oak), and its varieties. 



Quercus glandulifera. Kew. Worth a trial. (See Gardeners' 



Chronicle, December 4, 1880, p. 714.) 

 Quercus coccinea (Scarlet Oak). 

 Castanea vulgaris (Sweet Chestnut). 



Fagus sylvatica (Beech), especially the variety cuprea (or Copper 

 Beech), of which a very fine specimen still exists in a garden 

 near the Bow Koad. 



Juglans regia (Walnut). 



Juglans nigra (Black Walnut). A noble town tree. 



Juglans mandshurica. Should be tried, as it is said to be 



hardier than the Common Walnut. (See Gardeners 1 



Chronicle, October 6, 1884, p. 384.) 

 Pterocarya fraxinifolia. Good specimen in the Chelsea Botanic 



Garden. 



Platanus orientalis var. acerifolia. The best form of Plane for 

 London. The Occidental Plane and many forms of the Ori- 

 ental are spring-tender, and therefore unsuitable. Seedlings 

 from the same batch show great differences in this respect. 



Betula alba (Birch). 



Populus alba (White Poplar). 



Populus nigra (Black Poplar). 



Populus canadensis (Ontario Poplar) and the fast-growing 



variety known as var. nova. 

 Populus balsamifera (Balsam Poplar). Fine specimens of Poplars 



may be seen in St. James's Park. 

 Salix alba (White Willow) and other species. 

 Ulmus campestris (Common Elm). Not recommended except in 



country towns, as the leaves shrivel early and are readily 



attacked by red- spider and various insects. 

 Ulmus montana (Scotch or Wych Elm). 

 Planera Kichardi. Fulham. 

 Celtis australis. Fulham. 



II. — Deciduous Trees and Shrubs of Medium 

 or Low Stature. 



Deciduous Berberis. 



Acer eriocarpum. Excellent. 



Acer rubrum. 



Acer creticum. Chelsea Botanic Gardens.
