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, en- 
dures the cold of the north and the heat of the south, and is safe 
and easy to transplant. Admirably adapted for ornamenting 
small or large grounds, or for cemetery planting. Price, 50 cts., 
75 cts., and $1 each.

Downing. Ever- 
bearing ; a hand- 
some lawn tree, with 
delicious berries; 
fruits at four and five 
years of age ; con- 
tinues in bearing 
three to four months 
of the year, making 
it very desirable. 
Price, first-class, 40c. 
each, $4 per doz.; 
medium, 30c. each, 
$3 per doz. 
PERSIMMON, 
AMERICAN 
This makes a very 
handsome orna- 
mental tree and is 
tolerably hardy here. 
The fruit, although 
it is pungent when 
green, becomes 
sweet and palatable 
if allowed to remain 
on the tree exposed 
to early frosts. It 
hangs so thickly 
upon the trees as to 
give them an amber- 
yellow appearance 
after the leaves fall. 
25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz., by mail or 
express.

CUSTARD APPLE, or NORTHERN BANANA 
Papaw Tree ( Asintina triloba) 
This small tree is hardy around New York, but only precariously 
so north of there. The Papaw tree belongs to the Custard Apple 
family of plants, and is the only arborescent species of the genus be- 
longing to this country. As a lawn tree, the Papaw is well worth 
growing for its shapely form and ample, abundant and fine foliage, 
as well as for its fruit. Price, first-class, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; 
medium, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
