80 THE GOLD MINE 



Sanibuciis in cultwation. Some, like Pyramidalis, are 

 too tender ; also the fern leafed. The weeping form is 

 also tender. The cut leafed seems hardy, and a rank 

 grower. Very attractive with its peculiar leaves. One 

 type, with red berries, grows in the Kockies. The 

 Golden Elder is hardy and desirable. The variegated 

 leafed is very striking. It does fairly well in Ne- 

 braska. I do not know how far north it can be moved. 

 Plumosa is a cut leafed, weeping variety; and then 

 there is the golden cut leafed. 



The whole family are as easily propagated as wil- 

 lows, gTowing readily from cuttings. This is not gen- 

 erally known. 



Some use the golden for hedges. It makes a good 

 windbreak, but, of course, is not strong enough for a 

 fence. This and the cut leafed are rapid growers, and 

 would make quite a hedge in a short time.
