THE NEWER ORNAMENTAL DECIDUOUS SHRUBS. 469 
TJ. glabra pendula is another fine variety of Weeping elm, 
but far inferior, we think, to the two above mentioned. 
TJ. montana pendula , and TJ. rugosa pendula, (the Scotch 
weeping), and (Rough-leaved weeping), are also very desirable 
Weeping elms. 
The Huntington elm is a rapid growing variety, with a 
fine large leaf. 
The TJ. articofolia, (Nettle-leaved) ; TJ. variegata , (the 
Variegated) ; and U. purpurea, (the Purple), are all curious and 
desirable in large places ; as is also TJ. adianthafolia, a strong 
rugged variety with corrugated and crimped leaves very 
peculiar. 
THE NEWER ORNAMENTAL DECIDUOUS SHRUBS. 
Before enumerating the many new and beautiful 
shrubs which have been introduced into our gardens 
and pleasure grounds within ten years, we wish to 
say a few words respecting their employment. 
We have before remarked, in another place, that the 
facilities afforded by railroads and steamboats are now 
so great, that there is a class, and a large one, of small 
suburban places and villa residences in the neighbor- 
hood of our large cities and rural towns, to which this 
kind of plant is especially valuable. In residences of a 
few hundred feet square to an acre or more, shrubs are 
much more valuable than trees, as the latter, when 
fully matured, become so large and cumbersome as to 
interfere very much with a free circulation of air, and 
often completely shut out all view, and are apt to make 
the places themselves damp and dreary. There are 
many of these residences where trees should never be 
planted, but their place should be supplied by the finer 
shrubs, as the Weigela, Forsythia, the Fly honeysuckle, 
the smaller Magnolias ( glauca , purpurea , gracilis , con- 
spicua , soulangiana), the Purple berberry, the Purple 
filbert, the Variegated syringo, the Dwarf horse-chest-
