Robinia  •  Locust 
Robinia  Pseudacacia.  Black  Locust.  (L)  A 
familiar  tree  of  rapid  growth  that  thrives  in 
any  place.  The  pinnate  foliage  is  light  and  airy. 
In  June  the  tree  is  fragrant  with  panicles  of 
white  flowers,  and  very  ornamental.  Its  growth 
is  rapid.  The  timber  is  so  durable  that  it  is  val- 
ued for  commercial  purposes.

Salisburia 
Salisburia  adiantifolia.  Ginkgo,  or  Maidenhair 
Tree.  (M)  Recently  this  tree  has  sprung  into 
great  popularity,  and  it  merits  the  praise  it  re- 
ceives. It  is  remarkable  as  a  deciduous  member 
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  withstands  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.  A  highly  dec- 
orative tree  of  the  first  order.

Salix  •  The  Willows 
A  large  family  which  embraces  varied  forms,  and  includes  some  of  our  commonest  and  most  orna- 
ntal  trees.  They  are  hardy  throughout  the  temperate  zone.  Willows  will  grow  almost  anywhere  and 
jd  not  necessarily  be  planted  beside  streams  and  waterwa3's,  as  is  commonly  supposed.  They  mature 
quickly  that  they  are  very  satisfactory  to  plant  for  quick  effects.  The  golden  barked  varieties  are 
•ecially  interesting  and  attractive  in  winter  when  the  leaves  have  left  their  brilliant  branches.

strong  grower  and  very  hardy  ;  slender  light 
!?ray  branches,  and  narrow  silvery  gray  leaves, 
rhe  bush  forms  are  well  suited  for  quick-grow- 
ing mass  plantings  or  for  wet  soils.  The  tree 
forms  are  better  for  individual  planting.

Babylonica.  Weeping  Willow.  (M)  This  is  the
