WEEPING TRE.E.S 
Mountain Ash 
A pendulous weeper of irregular, rapid 
growth; sometimes planted iu tlie center 
of small arbors and trained about them 
as a vine. 
Cut^leaved Birch 
Tree tall and slender, with pendulous 
branches The bark of this tree is sil- 
very white when tree is mature; foliage 
dark green, glossy and beautifully cut. 
We regard this as the most attractive of 
all upright-growing weeping trees. Have 
seen branches cut from this tree 5 feet 
long and only -r,i of an inch in diameter at 
the base. This tree will stand any kind 
of exposure; it is perfectly hardy. 
Camperdown 
Elm 
Grafted 6 to 8 feet 
high, this forms 
one of the most 
picturesque droop- 
ing trees. It is of 
rank growth ; the 
shoots often mak- 
ing a z'gzag growth 
outward and down- 
ward of several feet 
in a single season. 
The leaves are large 
and dark green, and 
cover the tree with 
a luxuriant mass of 
verdure. 
Tea's Weeping 
Mulberry 
This tree is sim- 
ilar in general ap- 
pearance and habit 
of growth to the 
Kilmarnock Weep- 
ing Willow, hut it 
grows much more 
rapidly and the 
branches are more 
drooping. This va- 
riety will frequent- 
ly grow from 5 to 
C feet in a season, 
and it is nothing 
uncommon to see 
the branches trail- 
ing on the ground. 
The loaf is of the 
same general form 
as the Russian Mul- 
berry of which it is 
a variety. We re- 
gard this as the 
hardiest of all 
dwarf weepers. 
Willows 
Kilmarnock. A variety of the Goat Wil- 
low, or common sallow. Grafted 5 to 7 
feet high upon the Comewell stock, it 
forms, without any trimming, an exceed- 
ingly graceful tree, with glossy foliage 
and perfect umbrella head unique in form. 
Vigorous and thriving in all soils, it is 
probably more widely disseminated than 
any of the finer ornamental trees. Not 
quite hardy here. 
Wisconsin. The hardiest of all weep- 
ing Willows; grows very large, with 
long, slender, drooping shoots; a mag- 
1 nifieent tree in the mountain region of 
I the West.
