Under  the  heading,  "  Seme  Weeping  Willows,"  page  34,  we  describe  and  offer  fotir  varieties  which  are  similar,  and  any 
one  of  them  will  grow  to  look  like  this.  They  are  graceful  and  fitting  trees  for  water-edges  and  upland  places.  We  find  the 
comparatively  new  variety,  Salix  elegantissima,  or  Thurlow's  Weeping  Willow,  to  be  one  of  the  best. 
Salix  Vitellina,  var.  aurea.  (M)  Grows  into 
a  massi\  e.  low-headed  tree.  Light  green  leaves  and 
brilHant  golden-yellow  bark,  that  is  particularly 
bright  in  the  leafless  months  of  Winter.  It  makes 
a  fine  specimen,  with  a  personality  that  other  trees 
do  not  possess.  Each  19  100

Weeping  Golden-Barked  Willow 
var.  aurea  pendula.  (M)  Weeping  Golden- 
Barked  Willow.  The  bright  golden-yellow 
branches  of  this  Willow  weep  gracefully  in  long, 
swaying  lengths.  It  grows  rapidly  in  low  or  upland 
places,  and  endures  abuse  and  neglect.  It  is  rare, 
but  so  desirable  that  we  urge  its  more  general  use.
