          34798. POPULUS SIMONII.
Poplar. From Novospaska, Russia,
through A. Woeikoff. Rapid-growing
poplar hardy as far north as Manitoba.
Excellent windbreak tree, adapted to
the Great Plains. This material, coming 
from a Russian source, may prove
different from that already grown
under this name in America.

22363. POPULUS SP. Poplar.
From Frank N. Meyer, Shiling, Chihli,
China. A remarkable variety of the
small-leaved Chinese poplar of very
pyramidal habit; looks like the Lombardy 
poplar, but makes a more pleasing 
impression; thrives in a sandy
moisture-retaining soil.

22447. POPULUS SP. Chinese
Poplar. From Frank N. Meyer, Taidjatsoa, 
China. An extremely slender
but very graceful tree, suitable for
grouping in parks and for forming
backgrounds for other tall deciduous
trees. The buds and young leaves
exhale a pleasant balsamic odor.
Partial to moist, sandy soils, succeeding 
especially well along water
courses.
