WILLOW, KILMARNOCK WEEPING — A distinct variety, having reddish 
shoots and large glossy foliage, graf- 
ted at a proper height, about five feet 
from the ground, it makes a very de- 
sirable small lawn tree, having a per- 
fect umbrella-shaped head, and with 
the branches drooping gracefully to 
the ground and is well suited for 
planting in cemetery lots or other 
small enclosures. Extensively planted 
and should be in every collection of 
ornamental shrubbery. Hardy and of 
vigorous growth. 
WILLOW, NEW AMERICAN— A 
handsome weeping tree with large 
glossy leaves; a strong grower, with 
a more pendulous habit than the Com- 
mon Willow. 
KILMARNOCK WEEPING 
EVERGREEN TREES. 
The following Evergreens are mostly hardy and particularly adapted to 
cur Northern and Western climates. Many of these make the most ornamen- 
tal hedges and screens. 
ARUACARI A IMBRICATA (Chile Pine)— Beautiful, regular pyramidal 
form; branches in whorls, spreading horizontally when young, rather ascend- 
ing near the top; leaves stiff, smooth, shining deep green, sharply pointed 
and entirely clothing the branches; the greatest ornament among conifers. 
ARBORVITAE, AMERICAN — A well known variety of great value; it 
forms an upright, conical tree of only medium size, and is, all things consid- 
ered, the finest Evergreen for screens, being hardy and more easily trans- 
planted. It grows rapidly, and with little care, or rather by easy manage- 
ment, it soon forms a most beautiful hedge, very dense, and perfectly imper- 
vious to the sight. It is not adapted to turn stock, but forms a most desir- 
able and ornamental screen to divide the lawn from other parts of the ground, 
or for any similar purpose. 
ARBORVITAE, CHINESE— Of upright growth, slender, and bright green 
foliage. Growth is on flat twigs; arranged mostly vertically. 
ARBORVITAE, COMPACTA (Parson’s) — Foliage bright, light green. Habit 
dwarf and compact.
