MULBERRIES. 
Teas’ Weeping. A very thrifty, vigorous grower, perfectly 
hardy. Wholly unlike anything heretofore introduced. Forms a 
perfect umbrella-shaped head, with long, slender, willowy 
branches, drooping to the ground. All who have seen it agree 
that in light, airy gracefulness, delicacy of form and motion, it is 
without a rival. It will undoubtedly take the foremost place 
among weeping trees, as it has beautiful foliage, is hardy, endures 
the cold of the north and heat of the south, and is safe and easy 
to transplant. Admirably adapted for ornamenting small or large 
grounds, or for cemetery planting. Price, 75 cts., $1 and 
$1.25 each.

tree and is tolerably 
hardy here. The fruit, 
although it is pungent 
when green, becomes 
sweet and palatable if

the tree exposed to 
early frosts. It hangs 
so thickly upon the 
trees as to give them an 
amber-yellow appear- 
ance after the leaves 
fall. 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., by mail or ex- 
press.
