The following seeds and cuttings : 



22861. Populus sp. . Poplar. 



From Wutaishan, Shansi, China. "(No. 260, Feb. 27, 1908.) A white- 

 barked poplar, standing apparently between P. alia tomentosa (Carr.) 

 Wesm. and P. balsamifera suaveolens (Fisch.) Wesm. Growing at 5,000 

 to 8,000 feet elevation. Fsed extensively for sand and stone binding, and 

 planted at the mouth of ravines so as to prevent the mountain torrents 

 carrying their debris into the cultivated lands of the valleys. Of use to us 

 for the same purpose, and as a cheerful avenue tree for winter effects. 

 Chinese name Ching yang shu, meaning green poplar, on account of the 

 bark being very green as long as the tree is young." (Meyer.)
