THE WEEPING BIRCH makes an attractive specimen tree for a small garden. Placed on a smooth green lawn, it makes a feature of considerable merit—and a delightful playground for small children, too. Many of the weeping trees commonly grown, such as the weeping willows, ash, and elm, are much too large for the average section. The weeping birch (Betula youngii) and weeping cherry (Prunus subhirtella pendula) are two which do not exceed reasonable bounds.
