A screen planting of Weeping Willows, furnished by us, that has within six years produced an effective shield against these 

 farm buildings. Either the common Weeping Willow, variety Babylonica, or the Thurlow's Weeping Willow, both listed on 

 page 42, will produce results like this. For waterside planting and for individual use Willows have long been used, but for 

 screen purposes, even on upland soil, they are now being more generally employed. 



Salix. The Willows 



A LARGE family which embraces varied forms and includes some of our most common and ornamental 

 trees. They are hardy throughout the temperate zone. Willows will grow almost anywhere, and 

 need not necessarily be planted beside streams and water-ways, 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. recalls. (M). Upright habit, 

 strong grower and very hardy; slender, light gray 

 branches and narrow, silvery gray leaves.

 with the well-known Weeping Willow.
