white as the Silver poplar. The Yellow-berried, the Large- 
fruited gray, the Large-fruited red, and the Large-fruited rose, 
are all deserving notice where there is ample space for planting. 
Tilia. Lime or Linden. 
The only varieties of value to add to those previously enu- 
merated in this book, are T. laciniata (Cut or Jagged-leaf lin- 
den), with the leaves curiously cut ; and T. pendula alba 
(Weeping White linden), of a very pendulous habit, and the 
under part of the leaf very silvery. We esteem this one of 
the most, if not the most ornamental of the lindens. 
Vlmus. Elm. 
There are a good many new elms lately introduced, which 
are quite remarkable in their habit, and distinctive in appear- 
ance ; among them are two Scotch varieties of weeping elms, 
the Scamps ton (of which Fig. 92 is a portrait), and Camper down, 
both somewhat allied in appearance, though the first is the most 
remarkable, having fine coarse foliage, and the most extraor- 
dinary droop to the branches ; so much and so regular and 
formal is their inclination, that it is difficult to believe artificial 
means have not been resorted to. When grafted as it should 
be, fifteen to twenty feet high, the branches make a curvilinear 
droop to the ground, with a growth so regular and symmetrical 
as to give the whole tree the appearance of a gigantic arbor ; 
regularly trained and trimmed, and by making an arched open- 
ing on one side, it can be well used for this purpose, the thick 
umbrageous character of the leaves producing the most agree- 
able and dense shade. 
The only material difference between this tree and JJ. Cam- 
perdown, is that this last is of a more open, loose foliage, and 
rather less regular in the droop of the branches. They are 
both, however, very fine trees and well worthy the most pro- 
minent positions in the lawn — care being taken that they shall 
have ample space for their development.
