Robinia  pseudacacia.  Black  Locust.  (L) 
A  familiar  tree  of  rapid  growth,  that  thrives  in  any

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  valued  for  com-

Salisburia.  Ginkgo 
Salisburia  adiantifolia.  Ginkgo  or  Maiden-

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  im- 
mune 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  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.

tree,  and  grows  well  in  wet  or  dry  places.
