DECIDUOUS TREES, Fig. 122. 387. A WEEPING WILLOW ON STRATFORD ATENDE, EAST BRIDGEPORT, CONN. \ The Weeping Willow, Salix babylonica, is by far the most beautiful of this great family, and its wonderful combination of charms are too common to be fully appreciated. It strikes root from cuttings as readily as a currant twig, and then grows with great rapidity, becoming a tree of irregularly-rounded masses fifty to sixty feet high and broad within twelve or fifteen years after planting. The weeping willow is the type of. pensile trees. In their first growth the branches aim bravSly upward, but the slender subsi- diary branches soon give up all struggle with the laws of gravity,.
