Japan Weeping Rose-flowered Cheery. 



{From a photograph of a specimen on our grounds.) 



Among trees of drooping habit there is none more beautiful than the one represented by the illustration annexed. 

 The beauty of the tree consists not only in its graceful pendulous habit, but it has besides the merit of producing quan- 

 tities of flowers in the blossoming season, and the branches when covered with these give the tree a novel, interesting 

 and charming effect, as will be seen from the picture. Tlie foliage of the tree, too, is handsome. This tree is well suited lor 

 either large or small places, and should be planted by itself, where it can have room to develop. By cutting, it caii be 

 confined to a small space, and if permitted to grow it will cover considerable ground in the course of time. No drooping 

 tree of recent introduction has more merits than this. 



CERCIS. Judas Tree, or Red Bud. Judas Batjm, Ger. Ganier, Fr. 



C. Canadensis. Ajterican Judas Tree. B. A very ornamental native tree, of medium size, irregular rounded 

 form, with perfect heart-shaped leaves of a pure green color, glossy surface above, and grayish green 

 beneath. The tree derives the name of Red Bud from the profusion of delicate reddish purple flowers 

 with which it is covered before the foliage appears. Flowering at the same time with the Chinese Mag- 

 nolias, it may be planted among them in groups with fine effect. Grown as single specimens they are also 

 beautiful and attractive, and deserve to be classed among our finest nrnamental trees. 50c.
