Mascula, (Cornelian Cherry.) A small tree pro- ducing yellow flowers in clusters, before the leaves appear. 3 to 4 feet, 35c. BIRCH. Cut-Leaved Weeping. One of the most elegant oi all weeping pendulous trees. Its tall, slender, yet vigorous growth, graceful drooping habit, sil- very white bark and delicately cut foliage, pre- sent a combination of attractive characteristics rarely met with in a single tree. 5 to 6 feet, 40c; 6 to 8 feet, 60c. European White Weeping. Similar to the American or Canoe Birch, with slender branches and silvery bark. After a few years growth it assumes a graceful weeping habit, adding greatly to its beauty. An old favorite, very desirable and effective. 5 to 7 feet, 40c; 6 to 8 feet, 60c. Pyramidal. One of the most distinct and orna- mental; bark silvery white. Elegant pyramidal habit. 4 to 6 feet, 50c. Young's Weeping. This variety is of a beautiful pen- dulous habit, with long, slender shoots of pic- turesque and irregular form. The leaves are broad, almost heart-shaped. One of the best small weeping trees. 4 to 6 feet, 75c. WILLOW. TEAS' WEEPING MULBERRY Mulberry Teas, (Weeping). The most graceful and hardy weeping tree in existence. Wholly l unlike anything heretofore introduced. Forms a perfect umbrella-shaped head, with long, slender, willowy branches, drooping to the ground. All who have seen it agree that in light, airy grace- fulness, delicacy of form and motion, it is with- out a rival. It will undoubtedly take the fore- most place among weeping trees: it has beauti- ful foliage, is hardy, enduring the cold of the north and the heat of the south, safe and easy to transplant. Admirably adapted for ornamenting small or large grounds, or for cemetery planting. One year, 75c; 2 years, $1.00. CORNUS. Florida, (White Flowering Dogwood.) An Amer- ican species of spreading, irregular form, grow- ing from 16 to 25 feet high. The flowers pro- duced in spring before the leaves appear are from 3 to Sl/2 inches in diameter, white and very showy. They begin to appear just as the Mag- nolia flowers are fading, and are invaluable for maintaining a succession of bloom. Foliage is of a grayish green color, glossy and handsome, and in the autumn turns to a deep red, rendering the tree one of the most showy and beautiful objects of that season. 3 to 4 feet, 35c; 4 to 5 feet, 50c. Rubra, (Red Flowering Dogwood.) Similar to Florida in habit of growth, but blooms are suf- fused with bright red. Very desirable. V/2 to 2 feet, 50c; 3 to 4 feet, 75c. Pendula, (Weeping Dogwood.) A weeping form of Cornus Florida, distinct from all other weep- ing trees. Possesses the abundant bloom, hand- some foliage and fruit of the Florida, and makes a magnificent specimen, either summer or winter. 4 to 6 feet, 75c.
