250 HARDY PICTORIAL TREES. 



a graceful lawn tree when worked on stems of the common 

 kind. 



Salix caprea pendula (the Kilmarnock Weeping 

 Willow). Deciduous. Height, 10 feet. Leaves larger 

 and shoots stouter than either of the preceding ; forms a 

 dense umbrageous tree when worked on steins of the 

 common kind. 



Salix Wolseyana. Deciduous. Height, 10 feet. Cer- 

 tainly one of the prettiest weeping trees when worked on 

 stems of the common kind ; the leaves are of medium size, 

 almost round, and thickly set on the branches. 



Sophora japonica pendula. Deciduous. Height, 12 

 feet. A decidedly pendulous tree, with dark green 

 leaves. 



Tilia alba pendula (the Weeping Lime). Deciduous. 

 Height, 20 feet. A beautiful weeping tree ; the leaves 

 white on the under sides. 



Ulmus microphylla pendula. Deciduous. A weeping 

 Elm with very small leaves, forming a pretty tree when 

 worked on 6 feet stems of the common Elm. 



Ulmus montana pendula (the Weeping Mountain Elm). 

 Deciduous. Height, 20 feet. A handsome broad-leaved 

 variety, with dark green leaves. Distinct and remarkably 

 effective. 



Ulmus rugosa pendula.- Deciduous. Height, 25 feet. 

 This is more thoroughly weeping than either of the 

 preceding forms, often making shoots many feet in length 

 in a single year. 



As with the pyramidal forms, so also with the weeping, 

 it would be easy to extend the number of varieties ; the 

 preceding list is merely a selection of those which seem to 

 me the most valuable. 



If it were desirable to extend these descriptions, 

 proceeding from the form of the tree to the form of the 

 leaf, I might associate together the following : 



Trees and shrubs with large compound leaves, includ- 

 ing Mahonia aquifolium, Amorpha fruticosa, Ailantus
