Salisburia.  Ginkgo 
Ginkgo  or  Maidenhair  Tree.  Salisburia 
ADIANTIFOLIA.  (M)  This  tree  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  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.

golden-barked  varieties  are  especially  interesting  and  attractive  in  Winter,  when  the  leaves  have  left  their 
brilliant  branches.
