Handbook of Tkees of the Nortiieen States and Canada. 87 The Weeping Willow is a familiar and singularly ornamental tree, and sometimes at- tains the height ot 50 or 60 ft. with a short thick trunk from 3-4 or 5 ft. in diameter. This is covered with a smoothish grayish bark divided into shallow, firm and more or less reticulated ridges. It has been introduced into this countrj' from eastern Europe and Asia and is naturalized in localities, ap- parently spreading mainly if not wholly by the distribution of its twigs. These falling upon the surface of a stream or lake float until they eventually find lodgement on the shore and when conditions are favorable take root and grow. The tree thrives best in moist soil and par- ticularly on the banks of quiet streams and ponds. Its trunk usually divides within a few feet of the ground into a few large branches which ramify and the ultimate branchlets, sometimes yards in length, droop and hang like a great natural portiere to the surface of the water. These great locks of branchlets, as they wave in the winds of a stormy day. give the tree a singular and striking appearance. Leaves linear-lanceolate, usual'y 3-6 in. long, cuneate at base, tapering to a long slender point, finely serrate, pubescent when young but finally glabrous dark green above, pale beneath ; stipules small semicordate; petioles usually V^ In. or less in length, glandular above : branchlets olive-green very long and slender. Flowers appearing with the leaves in small slender aments with ovate- lanceolate bracts on lateral leafy branchlets. Fruit capsules narrow-ovoid glabrous. A number of varities are recognized as: var, aurea Hort., with yellow branchlets ; var. an nularis Forbes, with leaves curling back suggestive of rings : var. dolorosa Rowen, (Wisconsin Weep- ing Willow) a hardy northern form with leaves very glaucous beneath, etc..
