  Salix

   From 
  Guldscha, 
  Russian 
  Turkestan. 
  " 
  (No. 
  793, 
  October 
  11, 
  1910.) 
  A 
  willow 
  

  

  found 
  on 
  sandy 
  alkaline 
  flats; 
  has 
  long, 
  very 
  narrow 
  leaves, 
  and 
  reddish 
  twigs. 
  

   The 
  trunk, 
  when 
  getting 
  old, 
  assumes 
  a 
  black 
  color 
  and 
  is 
  often 
  twisted 
  and 
  

   gnarled. 
  The 
  wood 
  is 
  harder 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  willow 
  I 
  ever 
  saw. 
  The 
  trees 
  

   grow 
  only 
  to 
  a 
  moderate 
  size 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  of 
  value 
  as 
  ornamental 
  garden 
  and 
  park 
  

   trees 
  and 
  as 
  windbreaks 
  in 
  alkaline 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  The 
  young 
  

   twigs 
  are 
  very 
  pliable 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  employed 
  as 
  a 
  tying 
  material."

  ''(No.

  A 
  

  

  shrubby 
  willow 
  with 
  reddish 
  twigs 
  and 
  very 
  lanceolate 
  leaves, 
  found 
  growing 
  

   on 
  very 
  sandy 
  and 
  alkaline 
  places. 
  It 
  has 
  sand-binding 
  qualities, 
  while 
  the 
  

   young 
  twigs 
  are 
  fit 
  for 
  tying 
  purposes 
  and 
  for 
  basket 
  material. 
  Of 
  value 
  in 
  

   sandy

  as 
  a 
  hedge 
  plant
