The Hemlock Spruce has naturally a weeping character - that is to say, its branches droop by reason of the weight of foliage. In the variety noted above, the main branches turn over and droop as in the regular weeping tree. The original tree on the grounds of Mr. S. B. Parsons is represented by those who have recently seen it as a lovely object. It is now eleven feet high and has a spread of branches thirteen feet in diameter; a pretty illustration appears in the Horticultural Art Journal.
