Weeping Mulberry 
It seems to thrive best in moist, porous 
soils. It demands an abundance of fertility. 
Where it does succeed, planters are well re¬ 
paid, the flowers being especially large, and 
attractive and very fragrant. The flowers 
are followed by a scarlet seed. 
Pin Oak (Quercus Palustris). This is a 
tall tree, with spreading branches of grace¬ 
ful lines. In common with the other oaks, 
is of rather slow growth at first, but if 
given good soil and room, develops into a 
splendid specimen. Leaves are smooth, of 
bright green, and turn to purplish color in 
autumn. 
Lombardy Poplar (Poplus nigra italica). 
In shape this is the exclamation mark among 
trees. Its towering spire has an individuality 
all its own. For tall screens and back¬ 
grounds, this tree is admirable. 
Sour Gum (Nyssa Sylvatica). This is one 
of the finest trees known for all fall coloring. 
It has long, narrow, glossy leaves and is 
rather slow growing. Very attractive at all 
seasons. Not often offered nursery grown. 
Try some. 
Tulip Tree (Liriodendron). A magnifi¬ 
cent rapid growing tree of pryamidal form 
attaining a height of 150 feet, with light 
green, glossy fiddle-shaped leaves and green¬ 
ish-yellow tulip-shaped flowers; also known 
as white wood. 
Babylonian Weeping Willow (Salix Baby- 
lonica). The well-known, common weeping 
willow; makes a large tree covered with 
drooping branches. 
Golden Weeping Willow (Salix Niobe). 
Slender leaves, green above, silvery under¬ 
neath; the twigs and bark a strong golden 
yellow. When young slightly tinged dark 
red. Hardy vigorous, sturdily upholding 
its long lacy streamers. 
Wilsonsin Weeping Willow (Salix Baby- 
lonica, var dolorosa). Of drooping habits 
and considered the hardiest; valuable on ac¬ 
count of its ability to resist severe cold.
