248 HARDY PICTORIAL TREES. 



Juniperus mrginiana viridis. Evergreen. Height, 20 

 feet. A weeping variety of the Red Cedar, with bright 

 grass-green leaves, far superior to all other weeping forms 

 of this tree. This and the two preceding varieties of 

 Junipers rank among the most beautiful of small weeping 

 trees, and should abound in all suitable positions. 

 1 Taxus baccata Dovastoni. Evergreen. Height, 12 feet. 

 A dark green almost black-leaved weeping Yew, of 

 vigorous growth, distinct form, and very hardy. 



Taxus baccata Jacksoni. Evergreen. Height, 10 feet. 

 Another form of the Weeping Yew, of smaller growth ; 

 leaves pale green, very elegant. 



Amygdalus communis pendula (the Weeping Almond). 

 Deciduous. Height, 12 feet. A distinct form of a well- 

 known and valuable spring-flowering tree. 



Betula alba pendula (the common Weeping Birch).

 from seed, vary in character, some being much more 

 pendulous than others, and assuming the weeping habit at

Betula laciniata pendiila (the Cut-leaved Weeping 

 Birch). Deciduous. Height, 50 feet. The most beauti- 

 ful of the genus, the bark white ; hardy, and free, the 

 leaves finely cut.

 Deciduous. Height, 12 feet. So regular in growth and so 

 pendulous is this variety that it forms a very elegant tree 

 for planting singly on lawns, when grafted on stems of the 

 common Hawthorn. It is also very suitable for planting 

 in shrubberies. 



Cerasus Chamcecerasus (the Weeping Cherry). 

 Deciduous. Height, 10 feet. This also is a beautiful 

 lawn-tree ; when worked on 5 feet stems of the common 

 Cherry it forms a neat and compact pendulous head. 



Fagus sylvatica pendula (the Weeping Beech). 

 Deciduous. Height, 30 feet. This, when worked on stems 

 of the common Beech, 8 or 9 feet high, forms a capital
