Lombardy Poplars make quickly effective high screens against objectionable views. 

 Their tall, slender habit Jends a distinctive character to any landscape.^ 



Populus. The Poplars 



THESE trees grow rapidly, are quickly effective and inexpensive. They thrive in almost any soil and 

 withstand well the smok6 of cities. Where quick shade or temporary effects are desired, Poplars are 

 a good tree to use. The narrow-grovvirtg, upright-branched sorts are fav^orites in architectural arrange- 

 ments and for tall screens where there is little ground space allotted. 



Populus alba; var. Bolleana. Boll's Poplar. 

 (M). In habit resembles the Lombardy Poplar, but

(L). A tall, columnar form that is in 

 contrast to the more rounded outline 

 of other trees. For producing this 

 contrast it is much valued in collec- 

 tions of trees on large lawns or public 

 grounds. In smaller areas it also ac- 

 centuates certain vistas or makes a 

 more pronounced effect when used in- 

 dividually in certain locations where a 

 tree of this type is especially desir- 

 able. Being low-branched and of quick 

 growth make it especially w^ell suited 

 for screen planting. It is surprising 

 how soon a planting of these trees 

 will shut out those unsightly objects 

 which so often make certain views 

 rather undesirable. When planting 

 for this purpose, set the trees from four 

 to six feet apart, preferably the former 

 when a dense screen is desired. Their 

 height can be controlled by cutting oft" 

 a little of the top every few years.

 Dear Sirs: — I have yours of the 3d 

 and in answer would say that the 

 plants purchased of you last Sum- 

 mer hav^e proved very satisfactory, 

 and only two plants were lost of 

 the whole shipment. They almost 

 all bloomed this first season, and 

 I am very much pleased with them.
