BEECH (Fagus). 
WEEPING (Pendula). Of -wonderfal grace and beauty when covered with its 
rich, luxuriant foliage, but quite ungainly in appearance when divested of its 
leaves. Grows to a height of thirty feet. 
BIRCH (Betula). 
CUT-LEAVED WEEPING (Pendula laciniata). This tree is indeed a picture of 
delicacy and grace. It presents a combination of attractive characteristics of 
which no other variety can boast. Mr. Scott, in his "Suburban and Home 
Grounds," says of it : " No engraving can doit justice ; like the palm trees of 
the tropics, it must be seen in motion, swaying in the lightest breeze, its leaves 
trembling in the heated air, its white bark glistening through the bright 
foliage and sparkling in the sun, to enable us to form a true impression of its 
character." Makes a large tree. Of but little beauty when delivered from 
the nursery, but it develops into a thing of beauty. 
YOUNG'S WEEPING (Pendula Youngii). Grafted on stems five to six feet high. 
The fine thread like shoots droop to the ground, forming a novel and picturesque 
tree for the lawn. Requires but very little space. 
CHERRY (Cerasns). 
EVER-FLOWERING WEEPING (Acida var. semperflorens pendula). Bears 
fruit and flowers all summer. Makes a pretty little tree. 
JAPAN WEEPING (Japonica rosea pendula). Very pretty rose-colored flowers. 
Slender branches, which droop gracefully to the ground. Undoubtedly one of 
the most desirable weeping trees in our list. Suitable for small grounds. 
ELM (Ulmus). 
CAMPERDOWN WEEPING (Camperdown pendula). Beyond question one of 
the most satisfactory weeping trees in cultivation. The growth is rapid, the 
foliage is luxuriant ; it forms a fine-shaped head, and is very hardy. 
LINDEN, or LIME (Tilia). 
WHITE-LEAVED WEEPING (Alba pendula). Slender, drooping branche.'s, and 
large foliage. One of the finest and a good variety for a large lawn. 
MOUNTAIN ASH (Sorbus). 
WEEPING (Pendula). One of the best known and most popular weeping trees. 
It is of easy culture, great hardiness, and thrives in all soils. Its straggling 
branches, twisting and turning in every direction, with no training whatever, 
make a most picturesque and novel sight. Covered during the autumn with 
bright red berries. It is budded on stems about five feet high. 
POPLAR (Populus). 
LARGE-LEAVED WEEPING ( Grand identata pendula). Grafted about five feet 
high on standard stock. The branches are so long and slender as to resemble 
coarse cords. Droops to the ground. Large, dark leaves deeply notched. A 
good variety for small grounds.
