There are several distinct and beautiful forms of the Cypress, particularly _C. Lawsoniana gracilis pendula_ and _C. Lawsoniana alba pendula_. The Weeping Chinese Juniper (_Juniperus Chinensis pendula_) and _Virginiana pendula_ are well worthy of attention where this particular class of trees or shrubs is in request. Than the weeping form of the common Larch, perhaps no tree is more beautiful, the feathery pea-green foliage being distinct from that of every other tree. =Cut-leaved Trees.=—Of the Maples we have several cut-leaved forms, such as the beautiful _Acer palmatum laciniatum_ and _dissectum_, while of the Norway Maple, the variety known as _Platanoides dissectum_ is particularly valuable on account of the freely divided and beautifully coloured leaves. In the cut-leaved Birch (_Betula alba laciniatum pendula_), we have at once one of the most graceful and distinct of hardy trees. Not only are the leaves cut up and divided, but the weeping sprays of foliage, owing to the fine, whipcord-like branchlets, produce a most beautiful and graceful effect. In addition, this Birch is a tree of neat, clean growth, and will succeed in a satisfactory way even on poor gravelly soils and upland situations. Amongst the Beam trees (_Pyrus_) we find several good cut-leaved forms, such as _pinnatifida_ and _salicifolia_, both highly desirable medium-sized trees and valuable for woodland margins or steep, undulating grounds. Numerous forms of the Oak have appeared with incised leaves, such as _Quercus dentata_ and the fern-leaved variety of the Turkey Oak (_Quercus Cerris asplenifolia_), a decidedly beautiful and worthy form. Of the English Oak (_Q. Robur_) we have at least two good cut-leaved forms in _Pedunculata asplenifolia_ and _pectinata_. There are other varieties of the Oak in which the foliage differs considerably from that of the species in being much more freely divided. _Rhus glabra laciniata_ has become widely known of late years on account of its neatly divided foliage and as being a good town shrub. The leaves are of a delicate pea-green and the flowers inconspicuous and succeeded by feathery lawns. The common Alder has at least two forms that are much sought after for dampish ground by the pond or lake side, in _Alnus glutinosa laciniata_ and its well-marked and distinct variety _imperialis_. Both attain to a goodly size, and when suitably placed where the abundant, rich green, deeply divided leaves can be readily seen, are distinctly valuable for contrast and waterside effect.
