Another season’s growth fully sustains what we 
have heretofore claimed for this remarkable tree—un¬ 
equalled in gracefullness and beauty, combined with 
the strongest vigor, health and hardiness. And the 
unsolicited testimony of many having them growing in 
various parts of the country, from Wisconsin and Can¬ 
ada to Florida—from the bleak hills of New England, 
the sunny vales of California and the arid plains of 
Texas—all confirm our claim that it is the best Hardy Weeping Tree ever pro¬ 
duced. 
The most graceful and beautiful of hardy weeping trees, and wholly unlike 
anything heretofore introduced, forming a perfect umbrella-shaped head, with 
long, slender, willowly branches, drooping to the ground parallel with the 
stem. These hang like the most delicate vines from a hanging basket, and 
are swayed by the slightest breath of wind. All who see it agree that in light 
airy gracefulness and delicacy of form and motion it is without a rival. 
It is entirely free from the seeming formality and stiffness of the well 
known Kilmarnock Willow, and its lithe forms and easy curves are the very 
opposite of the irregular and grotesque habits of the Weeping Mountain Ash, 
Weeping Elms, Ash, etc. 
It has beautiful foliage, rather small, handsomely cut or divided into lobes, 
and of a beautiful, fresh looking, glossy green. In autumn many of the leaves 
are bordered with yellow, producing very novel and pleasing effects. 
Being a true Russian Mulberry, it possesses the wonderfully vigorous and 
healthy growth for which this species is noted; is free from disease and in¬ 
sects, and 
It is one of the hardiest of trees, enduring unharmed not only the severe 
cold of the north, but the far more destructive heat and drouth of the south and 
southwest. 
It is a long lived tree, flourishing in almost any soil and situation, wet or 
dry, and will be found particularly valuable in the western and southwestern 
states, where the Kilmarnock and other popular weeping trees utterly fail. 
It is one of the safest and most successful of all trees to transplant. It 
has a strong hold on life, and will endure exposure and hard treatment that 
will kill almost anything but Catalpa or Osage Orange. 
Rapid in growth and abundant in foliage, each branch adds to the form¬ 
ation of a finely rounded, symetrical head, making a most magnificent little 
tree. It is especially desirable for ornamenting small grounds, where trees of 
large size could not be used, and it is no less appropriate in parks and other 
extensive places. 
It is admirably adapted to cemetery planting. Indeed, here is a field 
where it stands without a rival, filling a long felt want. A perfect gem in size, 
style and exquisite form, together with all the hardiness, vigor and endurance 
that can be found in a tree. Cemetery trees are too often neglected and usually 
fail, but here is one peerless in beauty and suitableness that will be found equal 
to the situation. 
It may be trained into a complete shady arbor, or a fine ornamental gate¬ 
way and in a great variety of fanciful forms.
