Teas' Weeping Mulberry. 
Most Graceful of hardy weeping trees, and wholly unlike anything heretofore introduced; 
forming a perfect head, with long, slender, willowy branches, drooping to the ground, 
These hang like delicate vines from a hanging baske'^ • d are swayed by the slightest 
breath of wind. All who see the tree agree that for hgut, airy gracefulness, and deli, 
cacy of form and motion, it is without a rival. 
Collage Beautiful — varied both in size and shape, handsomely cut, or divided into lobes, and 
of a delightful, fresh-looking, glossy green. In autumn many of the leaves aie bordered 
with yellow, producing a very novel and pleasing effect. 
Being a True Russian Mulberry, it possesses the wonderfully vigorous, healthy growth for 
which that species is so noted; is free from disease and insects, and it is one of the 
hardiest of trees, enduring, unharmed, not only the severe cold of the North, but tbt 
far more destructive HEAT and DROUTH ofthe South and Southwest. 
It is a Long-Lived Tree, flourishing in any soil or situation, wet or dry, and will belound 
particularly valuable in the Western and Southwestern States. 
Transplants Safely. It is one of the most successful trees to transplant. Itnasavery 
strong hold on life, and will endureexposureand hard treatment that would kill almost 
anything but Catalpa or Osage Orange. 
Rapid in Growtli and abundant in foliage, forming a finely rounded, symmetrical head, mak- 
ing a most maghificent little tree. It is especially desirable for ornamenting small lawns 
where trees of large size could not be used, and no less appropriate in parks and other 
extensive grounds. 
For Cemetery Planting it is admirable. Indeed, it stands without a rival. A PERFECT 
GEM in size, style and exquisite form, together with all the hardines, vigor and endur- 
ance that can be found in a tree. Cemetery trees are too often neglected, and usually 
fail ; but here is one peerless in beauty and suitableness, that will be found equal to the 
situation. 
Does Well in Cities, being lees affected by smoke and dust than most trees. The leaves are 
so smooth and glossy that the dust and soot (loes not stick to them, as to rougher 
foliage. 
Flourishes on the Bleak Prairies, West and Northwest, and in the hot and dry South and 
Southwest. 
Every Tree maintains, perfectly, all the distinctive characteristics, and shows that with nil 
its wonderful vigor, the Weeping Mulberry does not outgrow its beauty and grace. 
The longest shoots— many of them five to eight feet long — do not stand out, but fall in 
with the rest, and lose their individuality in the general mass of foliage.

"> so readily transplanted and easily managed, it will delight them by its further growth
