ASH (Fraxinus). 
GOLDEN-BARKED WEEPING (Aurea pendula). During the winter 
the bark is as yellow as gold, making a striking effect. The tree 
when fully developed, is about eight feet in height. 
BEECH (Fagus). 
WEEPING (Pendula). Of wonderful 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 
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.

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
