WEEPING, (Pendula.) A fine, vigorous and beautiful tree, attaining a large

CUT-LEAVED WEEPING, (Pendula Lacinata.) Extremely vigorous and hardy. 
Mr. Scott, in his "Surburban 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 lieiited summer air, 
its white bark glistening through the bright foliage and sparkling in the sun, to 
enable us to form a true impression of ils character." 
YOUNG'S WEEPING, (Youngii.) Originated near Milford, England, where

forms pundulous heads drooping to the ground in fine, thread-like shoots; very 
beautiful.
