which no other variety can boast. Mr. Scott, in his "Suburban and Home 
Grounds," says of it: "No engraving can do it 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. 
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 (Cerasus). 
EVER-FLOWERING WEEPING (Acida var. seraperflorens pendula). Beai-s 
fruit and flowers all summer. Makes a pretty little tree. 
JAPAN WEEPING (Japonica rosea pendula). Pretty rose-colored flowers. Slen- 
der branches, which droop gi-acefuUy to the ground. 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. 
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 struggling 
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. 
MULBERRY (Morus). 
WEEPING (Pendula). One of the most graceful and hardy weeping trees, form- 
ing a perfect umbrella-shaped head, with long, slender, willowy branches 
drooping to the ground parallel with the stem. 
POPLAR (Populus). 
LARGE-LEAVED WEEPING (Grandidentata 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. 
WILLOW (Salix). 
KILMARNOCK (Caprea pendula). The bestknowuand most univereally planted 
of the finer weeping ornamental trees. Its great hardiness, vigorous growth, 
adaptability to all soils, easy culture, fine form, and unique appearance render 
it a general favorite. It is budded on Cromwell stock, about five feet from the 
ground, and forms a perfect umbrella-shaped head in a very few years, with- 
out pruning or training. It does not grow in heiglit, but the branches di-oop 
gracefully to the ground. It occupies very little space, and will thrive near 
larger trees, and is, therelbre, invaluable for small enclosures. It is also well 
adapted ibr cemetery lots. 
NEW AMERICAN (Americana pendula). Grafted about five feet high. An 
interesting variety, with delicate leaves and slender branches. Quite gi-aceful 
and ornamental. Never grows large.
