          34779. POPULUS SP. Chinese
Poplar. From Angers, France, through
Charles Detriche. Coming from South
China where the climate is warm and
moist, this species may prove tender
north of Georgia, although being deciduous, 
it deserves a wide trial to
determine its range. It may prove
adapted to cultivation south of the
range of poplars in Florida.
