The firft fort is the common white Willow, which is 

 frequently found growing on the fidcs^of rivers and 

 ditches in many parts of England. It grows to a larcre 

 fize, if the branches are not lopped off; the fhootsarc 

 covered with a fmooth, pale, green bark-, the leaves 

 are fpear-fhaped, between three and four inches lono-, 

 and one broad in the middle, drawing to a point at 

 each end i they are very white on their under fide, 

 and their upper fide is covered with ihort, white, 

 woolly hairs, though not fo clofely as the under ; the 

 katkins are Ihort and pretty thick. The wood of this 

 fort is very white, and polilhes fmooth. 

 The fccond fort grows to be a large tree, the young 

 branches are covered with a grayifti bark -, the leaves 

 are fmooth, of a lucid green, ending in acute points ; 

 they are eared at their bafe, and fawed on their edges, 

 and are green on both fides ; the branches grow pretty 

 ereft and arc flexible, fo this is frequently planted in 

 Ofier-grounds for the bafket-makers. The katkins 

 of this are long, narrow, and the fcales open, and are 



.. acute-pointed. ^ 



The third fort hath thick ftrong fhoots, covered with 



. a dark green bark ; the leaves are broad, rounded at 

 both ends; they are very fmooth, fawed on their 

 edges, and when rubbed have a erateful odour. It is 



Willow, and

' I 



the Sweet Willow; it erows qi 



middling fize ; the branches are brittle, fo are not 



proper for many purpofes. 



The fourth fort has flender tough (hoots, which are of 

 a yellow colour ; the leaves are oval, acute-pointed, 

 fmooth, and fawed on their edges ; the faws are car- 

 tilaginous, and the foot-ftalks of the leaves have cal- 



lous punftures. This is very pliable, fo is much plant- 

 ed in the Ofier-grounds for the bafket-makers, but it 

 never grows to a large fize. 



The fifth fort grows to a pretty large fize ; the (hoots 

 are eredl, they are covered with a light green bark ; 

 the leaves are fpear-lhaped, about two inches and a 

 half long, and three quarters of an inch broad in the 

 middle, drawing to a point at both ends ; they are of 

 a lucid green on both fides, fawed on their edges, 

 ftanding upon ihort foot-ftalks ; they have ftipulsin 

 form of a trapezium, at the bafe of the foot-ftalk. 

 The twigs of this fort are flexible, and fit for the ufe 

 of bafket-makers. - ./ 



The fixth fort grows to a middling fize ; the fhoots of 

 "this are very brittle, fo are unfit for the bafket-makers, 

 and are covered with a brownifh bark; the leaves 

 are near five inches long and one broad ; they are of 

 a lucid green on both fides, and are fawed on their 

 edges ; the katkins are long and flender, and the fcales 

 are pretty long, acute-pointed, and ftand open. It is 

 commonly called Crack Willow, from the branches 

 being very brittle. 

 The feventh fort is a tree of middling fize ; 



the 



flioots are very pliable, and fit for the baiket-makers, 

 fo is much planted in the Ofier-grounds ; they are of 

 a reddifh colour ; the leaves are fpear-fhaped, fmooth, 

 and fawed on their edges ; thofe on the lower part of 

 the branches are placed oppofite, but on the upper 

 they are alternate, and are of a yellowifh green. 

 The eighth fort makes very long flioots, but the tree 

 feldom grows to a large fize ; . the leaves are very long 



and entire, and arc fct clofe upon the branches ; they
