Tcii’h Weeping Mulberry — 
This is the most graceful and 
hardy weeping tree in exist- 
ence, and is wholly unlike any 
thing heretofore introduced. 
It forms a perfect umbrella 
shaped head, with slender and 
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. It has beauti- 
ful dark green, abundant foli- 
age. is hardy, enduring ex- 
tremes of both heat and cold, 
and is safe and easy to trans 
plant. Admirably adapted fo) 
ornamenting small or larg- 
grounds, or for cemetery 
planting. 
Bircli, Cut Lcnf, Weeping — 
One of the most graceful and 
elegant of all weeping or pen- 
dulous trees. Its tall, slender 
yet vigorous growth, graceful 
drooping habit, silvers white 
bark and delicately cut foliage 
present a combination of at- 
tractive characteristics rarely 
met with in a single tree. It 
is an elegant tree for lawn or 
cemetery planting. 
EVERGREENS 
mm Wrxsn 
Tea’s Weeping Mulberry, 
While evergreens do not transplant as readily as other trees, there need be 
but few lost if handled properly. The Scotch afid Austrian Pine and Colorado 
Spruco do especially well all over the West, even .in'the semi-arid districts, and stand 
drouth better than nearly all the deciduous trees, , such as Maple, Cottonwood, Box 
Elder, etc. We take the 
greatest care in digging 
and handling, so if you fol- 
low the directions below 
they should make finej 
stands and growth. 
Do not set pine trees 
close to buildings or walks, 
as you must remember that 
within a few years they 
should have a spread of 
from 25 to 35 feet, and take 
up a great deal of room. 
For small grounds plant 
Colorado Spruce, Norway 
Spruce or Arbor Vitae. 
Evergreens properly set 
give grandeur and beauty 
to the surroundings, but if 
set in crowded or close 
quarters they often look 
very much out of place. 
On arrival of the Ever- 
greens dig a small hole 
about 18 Inches across, 
pour in water and make a 
thick, pasty mud. Dip the 
roots in this as each one is taken out of the box. and heel in the ground, or plant 
immediately. Use plenty of water in planting, thoroughly firm the dirt about the 
roots, and mulch well, putting about 6 inches deep of good, heavy compost for two 
or three feet about the tree, and your tree will thrive through any drouth that may 
come the following season.
