The incised or cut-leaved Hornbeam (_Carpinus Betulus incisa_) is rarely seen, but it is of so distinct a type that its inclusion in this list is considered desirable. In this case the almost entire beech-like leaf is finely divided and the whole tree presents a comparatively light and airy appearance. Of the common Hawthorn there is a specially elegant cut-leaved form in that named _laciniata_, but its distinctive characteristics are best revealed when planted in conjunction with the species. Several of the Vine family are rendered highly ornamental for covering walls and pergolas by reason of their beautifully coloured and divided leaves. _Vitis heterophylla dissecta_ is one of the best in this way, but others of the less-incised forms are well worthy of attention. _V. vinifera purpurea_ has much to recommend it as an ornamental-leaved variety, and is specially suitable for covering mounds of earth, stones or tree stumps. We must not omit to include the cut or fern-leaved variety of the Lime (_Tilia platyphillos laciniata_), which for neat habit of growth and distinct character from the species merits special attention. The cut-leaved Japan Maples are exceedingly beautiful, but their slow growth and difficult propagation will always be against extensive planting, and render them rare and expensive. Other interesting cut-leaved trees are the willow-leaved Ash, laurel-leaved Willow, scarlet Oak, Maidenhair tree, and that most beautiful of all, the fern-leaved form of the golden Elder. Though somewhat stiff of outline the cut-leaved Horse Chestnut (_Æsculus_), in the form known as laciniatum, is not to be despised, and affords a striking contrast to the species. The fern-leaved Beech (_Fagus sylvatica asplenifolia_) is probably the most commonly distributed of cut-leaved trees, and rightly so, for it is certainly one of the most beautiful and distinct of the type. _F. sylvatica quercifolia_, the Oak-leaved, is also worthy of attention, but cannot compare with the former in point of beauty. Even of the common Walnut (_Juglans Regia_) there is a cut-leaved variety, which is distinct and worthy of culture as an ornamental tree. It is named _laciniata_ and is fairly common. Of the numerous varieties of the Sweet or Spanish Chestnut, the most desirable is that which bears the rather cumbrous name of _Castanea vesca heterophylla dissecta_. It is one of the most beautiful of hardy trees, in which the long, narrow leaves of the upper parts of the branches droop in a graceful manner and render it so much sought after in ornamental gardening.
