Of tall, pyramidal habit, with broad, glossy, fiddle-shaped leaves, and beautiful tulip-like flowers. WALNUT Black—(See page 21). WILLOW - Salix Russian Golden (S. Vitellina aurea)—At the present time one of the most planted of all the willows and a very important tree, both from an economical and ornamental stand- point. It makes a round-topped tree of sym- metrical form. One of its strongest orna- mental features is the bright, clear, golden- yellow bark, which offers a pleasing contrast wherever it is used. The variety which is now generally grown under this name is quite distinct from that to which it was formerly given. Weeping Trees BIRCH - Betula Cut Leaved Weeping Birch (B. Alba, var. pen- dula laciniata) —Undoubtedly one of the most popular of all weeping- or pendulous trees; tall and slender, graceful drooping branches, silvery-white bark, delicately cut foliage; makes an attractive specimen; growth vigorous. ELM - Ulmus Camperdown Weeping Elm (U. Scabra, var. pendula)—This forms one of the most pictur- esque of the drooping trees; forms a large, umbrella-like head, spreading many feet in every direction; very rapid grower, making a growth of several feet in a season; leaves are large, dark green and glossy and cover the tree with a dense mass of Tea's Weeping Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original C.
