of most other trees that it is indispensable in both large and small gardens. For a lawn 
this is a really perfect tree. $ 1.00 each.

tree, with small, delicate, feathery, light-green foliage. We have some fine specimens

say why this beautiful tree is not more extensively used. 50 cents to $ 1.00 each. 
Tilia Americana (American Linden or Basswood). A rapid-growing, large¬ 
sized, beautiful native tree, with very large leaves and fragrant flowers.

growing tree, of medium size and pyramidal form ; with cordate acuminate leaves, downy

appearance. Its handsome form, growth, and foliage render it worthy, in our opinion, 
to be classed among the finest of our ornamental trees. $ 1.00 each.

give it great beauty. $ 1 . oo each.

trees, and very valuable for street or lawn planting. 50 cents to $ 1.00 each.

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. 75 cen ts and $ 1.00 each. 
U. var. purpurea (Purple Elm). The purple in this, while not so pronounced as in 
some other things, is enough to give it value as a purple-leaved tree. $ 1.00 each.
