 black walnut already gives out.

 Yellow Poplar. 



Although this species is to be found as a grown 

 tree all over Germany in the warmer situations, 

 and although the wood is well known as being 

 soft, easily worked, and durable (according to 

 Mayr especially suitable for water-pipes), it

 only in France 3 has the tree found a place in 

 sylvan plantations. Vonhausen4 had in 1881,
