The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. Of rapid growth, fine habit, hardy, adapt- 

 ed to a great variety of soils, and easily transplanted, they can be used by planters to great advantage. Seve- 

 ral sorts are well known ; others have not received the attention they deserve, for example, the Royal Willow, 

 with its silvery foliage, is a striking tree, and most effective in landscapes ; the Laurel-leaved, with handsome, 

 shining, laurel-like leaves, and bright green bark in winter; the Palm-leaved, with glossy, beautiful leaves, 

 and bright red bark in winter; the Golden, with bright yellow bark, Britzensis with red bark and Colorado 

 with blue bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery foliage, are all meritorious. The ease with which 

 they can be transplanted, and the brief time they require to form good sized trees, are strong arguments in 

 favor of their employment.
