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 re of an inch in diameter at 
the base. This tree will stand any kind 
of exposure; it is perfectly hardy. 
Willows 
Kilmarnock. A variety of the Goat Wil- 
low, or common Willow. Grafted s to 7 
feet high upon the Comewell stock, it 
forms, without any training, an exxeed- 
ingly graceful tree, with glossy foliage 
and perfect umbrella head; unique in form. 
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. 
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 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. 
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 frequently 
grow from 5 to 6 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 which 
it is a variety. Wc 
regard this as the 
hardiest of all dwarf 
weepers.
