Salisburia 
Salisburia  adiantifolia.  Ginkgo,  or  Maidenhair 
Tree.  (M)  Recently  this  tree  has  sprung  into 
great  popularity,  and  it  merits  the  praise  it 
receives.  It  is  remarkable  as  a  deciduous  mem- 
ber of  the  Pine  family,  with  odd-shaped  leaves 
that  resemble  those  of  the  Maidenhair  Fern. 
But  its  value  lies  in  the  fact  that  it  is  immune 
from  the  ordinary  attacks  of  insects  and  with- 
stands so  well  the  unnatural  conditions  of  our 
cities.  It  is  highly  ornamental  on  lawns  or  public 
grounds  and  useful  for  street  planting.  Of 
medium  height,  pyramidal  in  growth,  sparsely 
branched  and  of  characteristic  irregular  outline.

Salix  •  The  Willows 
A  large  family  of  trees  which  embraces  varied  forms,  and  includes  some  of  our  commonest  and 
most  ornamental  trees.  They  are  hardy  throughout  the  temperate  zone.  Willows  will  grow  almost 
anywhere  and  need  not  necessarily  be  planted  beside  streams  and  waterways,  as  is  commonly  supposed. 
They  mature  so  quickly  that  they  are  very  satisfactory  to  plant  for  quick  effects.  The  golden-barked 
varieties  are  especially  interesting  and  attractive  in  winter  when  the  leaves  have  left  their  brilliant 
branches. 
Salix  alba;  syn.,  regalis.  (M)  Upright  habit,  strong 
grower  and  very  hardy ;  slender  light  gray 
branches,  and  narrow  silvery  gray  leaves.  The 
bush  forms  are  well  suited  for  quick-growing 
mass  plantings  or  for  wet  soils.  The  tree  forms 
are  better  for  individual  planting.
