WEEPING OR DROOPING TREES. 



Much attention is now given to this intei-esting class of trees, and we therefore place them 

 separately for the greater convenience of our friends. For the benefit ot those tinacquainted 

 with their habits, we would sav that thev should be divided into two separate classes, namely; 

 Thosewhich aS-e grafted where the top or head commences to form, as in the case of theCamper- 

 down Elm. and those having long, slender branches which droop naturally, like the Cut Leaf 

 Birch; the first assume that conspicuous, umbrella-like form so well known, and so excellently 

 adapted for planting in cemeteries, small yai-ds and gardens. The latter have tall-growing: 

 trunks, wdth long, slender branches, and are really handsome. They are well adapted for larger 

 places, where thej^ can have sufficient room. In such situations, the elegance and grace of their 

 branches in motion or at rest, are so graceful to the eye that among ornamental shrubbery 

 thev have few if any superiors.
