WEEPING TREES 
Mountain Ash 
A pendulous weeper of irregular, rapid 
growth; sometimes planted in the 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 rs 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 pic- 
turesque drooping 
trees. It is of rank 
growth; the shoots 
often making a 
zigzag growth out- 
ward and downward 
of several feet in a 
single season. The 
leaves are large and 
dark green, and 
cover the tree with 
a luxuriant mass of 
verdure. 
Willows 
Kilmarnock. A variety of the Goat Wil- 
low, or common Willow. Grafted 5 to 7 
feet high upon the Comewell stock, it 
forms, without any training, an exceed- 
ingly graceful tree, with glossy foliage 
and perfect umbrella head; unique inform. 
Vigorous and thrives in all soils. Not 
quite hardy here. 
Niobe. Perfectly hardy and very beau- 
tiful; a new golden variety introduced by 
Prof. Hansen, of South Dakota. 
Wisconsin. The hardiest of all weeping 
Willows; grows very large, with long, slen- 
der, drooping shoots; a magnificent tree 
in the mountain region of the West. 
Teas' Weeping Mulberry 
Teas' Weeping 
Mulberry 
This tree is sim- 
ilar in general ap- 
pearance and habit 
of growth to the 
Kilmarnock Weep- 
ing Willow, but it 
grows much more 
rapidly and the 
branches arc more 
drooping. This va- 
riety will fre(|uently 
grow from 5106 feet 
in a season, and it is 
nothing uncommon 
to sec the branches 
trailing on the 
ground. The leaf is 
of the same general 
form as the Russian 
Mulberry, of whicli 
it is a variety. Wc 
regard this as the 
hardiest of all dwarf 
weepers.
