autumn to bronze and yellow. Clustered rose-pink flowers and 
yellowish fruit. 5-6 ft., £1.50 each.

Elm - Ulmus 
AMERICAN. A noble native tree of great size and widespread with 
graceful drooping branches and handsome leaves. One of the best 
tree types for towering, heady effect and widespread shade, in the

diameter, £1.50; lVi-1% * n - diameter, £2.00; l 3 /4-2 in. diameter,

China. Adapted to well-drained soil. In the East and the Lake 
regions, its growth is so deliberate we may well consider it as a 
dwarf variety. The foliage is small and dense, the growth sym¬ 
metrical and compact, retaining foliage better than an American 
Elm. 6-8 ft., £1.00; 10-12 ft., l l /»-lVi in. diameter, £1.50; 
11/2-1% in- diameter, £2.00; l 3 /4-2 in. diameter, £2.50 each.

windows. The dwarf Japan type gives tone and color to lawn groups. 
JAPANESE (Purple-Leaved). (Atropurpurea). Foliage deep blood- 
red and deeply cut. Extra fine specimens. 18-24 in., £2.00:
