WEEPING EVERGREEN TREES. 81 



plant often not more than eight to twelve feet high, but with 

 horizontal branches from which drooping spray dejjends in an 

 irregular fastigiate manner, creating for it a charm and pic- 

 turesqueness that together with its size make it one of the most 

 desirable plants for position in cemeteries. In small grounds, 

 or for special positions in ornamental i)lanting, it is also ex- 

 tremely pretty, but should be used with great care and thought 

 in studying association with the surrounding plants and trees. 



Juniperus Virginiana pendula is of a stronger and more 

 vigorous habit, sending up a strong center stem with recurved 

 horizontal drooping branches, highly picturesque and adapted 

 to rocky or water scenery. 



Thuja f.liformis is a variety of the arbor vitas, with horizontal 

 branches and long depending twigs or spray, giving a uniuue 

 and pleasing form, that with its light, yellowish green shade of 

 foliage is always attractive and interesting rather than beaut nil. 



It is well suited for cemetery purposes, and may occasioi ally 

 be introduced near ponds or pools of water.
