A Weeping Form of the Chinese Elm, Ulmus pumila L. (See S. P. I. No. 40507.) 



The extreme hardiness of this Chinese elm, which has been widely distributed throughout 

 our Northwestern Stales, will make this picturesque weeping form, which is a rare 

 variety even in China, particularly welcome in that region for use in cemeteries and 

 parks. The specimen shown was photographed by Mr. Frank N. Meyer on an old grave 

 near Fengtai, Chihli, China, Mar. 'J.T, 1908 (P5429FS).
