THE COMMON WILLOW. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



HE outlines of the foliage on the Common Willow are 

 curiously undefined : the leaves seem to make a soft 

 haze or atmosphere of green about the decorative patterns 

 of the pliant boughs, an atmosphere that merges into 

 the blue of the summer sky. Only here and there, where they are 

 somewhat heavily massed together, does their unobtrusive colouring 

 hold its own.
