THORN, DOUBLE SCARLET — Flowers deep crimson, with scarlet shade; 
very double, and considered larger than the double red; fine rich foliage. 
THORN, DOUBLE WHITE — Has small, double white flowers. 
THORN, PAUL’S DOUBLE SCARLET — Flowers large, deep carmine 
scarlet. Superior to any other variety. 
TULIP TREE, or WHITE WOOD — A magnificent native tree, very rapid 
of growth; broad glossy and fiddle shaped leaves. It is valued for its clear 
smooth bark and handsome green foliage. The flowers appear in the first 
week in June. They are large, greenish yellow, blotched orange, and have 
the shape of a tulip. It makes a very desirable tree for street planting, thriv- 
ing in a low as well as high ground. Plant only in spring and prune veiy 
closely. Allied to the Magnolias, and like them, difficult to transplant, un- 
less of small size. 
WILLOW, GOLDEN — A handsome tree; conspicuous at all seasons but 
particularly in winter, on account of its golden yellow bark. 
WILLOW, ROSEMARY-LEAVED — Budded 5 to 7 feet from the ground, it 
makes a very handsome round-headed small tree; branches feathery, foliage 
silvery. 
YELLOW WOOD — One of the finest of American trees, of moderate 
growth; foliage of a light green color; flowers pea-shaped, white, sweet- 
scented, appearing in June in great profusion, in long, drooping racemes, 
covering the tree. 
Weeping or Drooping Deciduous Trees . 
Much attention is now given to this interesting class of trees, and we 
therefore place them separate for the greater convenience of our friends. For 
the benefit of those unacquainted with thir habits, w would say that they 
should b divided into two separate classes, namely: Those which are grafted 
where the top or head commences to form, as in the case of the Kilmarnock 
Willow, and those having long, slender branches which droop naturally, like 
the Cut-Leaved Birch; the first assume that conspicuous, umbrella-like form 
so well known, and so excellently adapted for planting in cemeteries, small 
yards and gardens. The latter have tall growing trunks, with long slender 
branches, and are really handsome. They are well adapted for large places 
where they can have sufficient room. In such situations, the elegance and 
grace of their branches in motion or at rest, are so graceful to the eye that 
among ornamental shrubbery they have few if any superiors. 
ASH, EUROPEAN WEEPING — One of the finest lown or arbor trees; 
covers a great space and grows rapidly; well adapted for covering arbors. 
BEECH, WEEPING (Pendula) — Quite ungainly in appearance, divested of 
its leaves, but when covered with rich, luxuriant foliage, of wonderful grace 
and beauty. Attains 30 feet.
