BIRCH, CUT-LEAVED WEEPING — Extremely vigorous and hardy. Mr. 
Scott in his “Suburban Home Grounds,” says of it: “No engraving can do it 
justice: like the palm tree of the tropics, it must be seen in motion, swaying 
in the light breeze, its leaves trembling in the heated summer air, its white 
bark glistening through the bright foliage and sparkling in the sun, to enable 
us to form a true impression of its character.” 
BIRCH, ELEGANT WEEPING — First exhibited at the Paris Exposition in 
1876, where it attained great attention. It has beautiful foliage, and an ele- 
gant weeping habit. It is very desirable in grounds that admit of variety. 
BIRCH, YOUNG’S WEEPING — Originated near Milford, England, where 
it was found trailing upon the ground. Grafted into stems of some height, it 
forms pendulous heads, drooping to the ground in fine, thread like shoots; 
very beautiful. 
CHERRY, JAPAN WEEPING ROSE, FLOWERED— Brought from Japan 
by Van Siebold, and is certainly one of the finest weeping trees for lawns 
or small grounds. The branches are slender, and when grafted on tall stems, 
fall gracefully to the ground. The flowers are rose colored, appearing before 
the leaves. Undoubtedly the finest weeping cherry, and one of the finest 
weeping trees in cultivation. 
CHERRY, JAPAN WEEPING WHITE — Feathery and graceful; flowers 
single white; fruit red. One of the finest of the small-headed cherries. Re- 
sembles the pumila pendula somewhat, but much more feathery and graceful. 
DOGWOOD, WEEPING— A weeping form of the White Flowering, distinct 
from all other weeping trees. Possesses the abundant bloom, handsome 
foliage and fruit of the White Flowering, and makes a magnificent specimen, 
either summer or winter. 
ELM, CAMPERDOWN — One of the most graceful of all weeping trees, 
having large, luxuriant and deep green foliage; well adapted for planting on 
lawns and covering arbors; very desirable; a rapid grower. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, WEEPING— A beautiful tree, with straggling, weeping 
branches; makes a fine tree for lawn; suitable for covering arbors. 
MULBERRY, TEA’S RUSSIAN — A very graceful weeping tree with long, 
slender branches, drooping to the ground, parallel to the stem; one of the 
most graceful of weeping trees. 
POPLAR, LARGE-LEAVED — A variety with slender, drooping, graceful 
branches, like cords; foliage dark shiny green and deeply serrated. 
WILLOW, WEEPING (Babylonica) — Our common, well-known weeping 
variety; forms a large, round-headed, graceful tree; requires plenty of room, 
and where space can be spared, is quite desirable. 
WILLOW, GOLDEN WEEPING— The bark of this is of a bright golden 
color. The branches are somewhat drooping. Makes a medium sized orna- 
mental tree.
