the garden are the Weeping Birch (Betula alba pendula 
Youngi), Cut-leaved Weeping Birch (B. a. /acinata pendula), 
Weeping Thorn (Crategus Oxycantha pendula), Weeping 
Ash (Fraxinus excelsior pendula), American Weeping 
Willow (Salix americana pendula), a quite small tree with 
elegant greyish leaves. Kilmarnock Weeping Willow 
(S. caprea pendula), a handsome form with large leaves and 
the Camperdown Weeping Elm (U/mus campestris pendula). 
For small gardens the Weeping Birch, the Kilmarnock 
Weeping Willow and the Camperdown Weeping Elm 
are preferable, while the Weeping Ash is the best when 
it is desired to form a living arbour.
