A^OON'S TREES

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

 these farm buildings. Any of the three varieties — Thurlow's Weeping Willow (Salix Elegantissima) Weeping Willow 

 (Salix Babylonica) or Weeping Golden-barked Willow — listed on this and the following page, will produce an effect 

 similar to that shown here. 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 w^ater-ways, as is commonly supposed. They mature so 

 quickly that they are very satisfactory to plant for quick efifects. The golden-barked varieties are especially 

 interesting and attractive in Winter when the leaves have left their brilliant branches. A most practical use 

 can be made of the more dwarf bushy varieties for planting on steep banks, slopes and along streams to pre- 

 vent erosion. 



Salix alba; syn. regalis. (M). Upright habit, 

 strong grower and very hardy; slender, light gray 

 branches and narrow, silvery gray leaves.

Weeping Willow. Salix Babylonica. (M). 

 This is the well-known Weeping Willow, whose 

 long, pendulous branches droop so gracefully and 

 sway to the lightest breeze. Makes an admirable 

 shade tree and grows well in wet or dry places.

Goat, or Pussy Willow. Salix Caprea. (S). 

 A quick-growing shrub-like tree which is pretty in 

 the first warm days of Spring, with a multitude of 

 small, fur-like catkins along its branches. Good for 

 planting in moist soils or for producing natural 

 efifects.

Thurlow's Weeping Willow. Salix Elegan- 

 tissima. (M). In our nurseries, where we have had 

 opportunity to observe all of these Willows, w^e find 

 this variety the strongest, most vigorous grower. 

 The long branches droop gracefully and make one 

 of the most popular trees of this variety. The tree 

 is a little more upright than some kinds and the 

 branches being stronger are not quite so apt to 

 break with the winds. It takes a few years after 

 planting before this pendulous habit is displayed at 

 its best.
