ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.— WEEPING DECIDUOUS TREES. 55 WEEPING, OR DROOPING, DECIDUOUS TREES. Much attention is now given to this interesting class of trees, and we therefore place them separately for the greater convenience of our friends. For the benefit of those unacquainted with their habits, we would say that they should be divided into two separate classes, namely: those which are grafted where the top or head com- mences to form, as in the case of the Kilmarnock "Willow, and those having long, slender branches which droop naturally, like the Cut-Leaved Birch; the first assume that conspicuous, umbrella-like form so well known, and so excellently adapted for planting in cemeteries, small yards and gardens. The latter have tall-growing trunks, with long, slender branches, and are really handsome. They are well adapted for larger places, where they can have sufficient room. In such situations, the elegance and grace of their branches in motion or at rest, are so graceful to the eye that among ornamental shrubbery they have few if any Camperdown Weeping Elm. ASH (Fraxinus). European Weeping (Excelsior pendula)— One of the finest lawn or arbor trees; covers a great space and grows rapidly; well adapted for covering arbors. BEECH (Fagus). Weeping (Pendula)—Quite ungainly in ap- pearance, divested of its leaves, but when covered with rich, luxuriant foli- age, of wonderful grace and beauty. Attains 30 feet. BIRCH (Betula). Cut-Leaved Weeping (Laciniatapendula) — One of the most desirable and beautiful trees for planting in door-yards or on lawns, having white or silvery bark,.
