WESTBURY STATION, N. 
Deciduous Trees 
WILLOW, continued 
Golden. S. mtellina, var. aurea. It grows to a 
large tree, or may be kept as a shrub by cutting 
back. With the Red-twig Dogwood its golden 
bark forms a beautiful contrast— a cheerful and 
harmonious touch in the winter landscape. 
Salmon-barked. ^S. vitellina, var. Britzensis. A 
unique tree with brilliant salmon-red bark in 
winter. 
Royal. 6". alba ; syn., 6". regalis. The silky down 
on the leaves gives the tree a white or silvery 
gray appearance. It is of value for contrast in 
groups of shrubs, especially at the seaside. 
Laurel-Leaf, or Bay-Leaf. .S. pentandra ; syn., 6^. 
laurifolia. It differs markedly from other Wil- 
lows in having broad leaves which exceed all 
others in glossiness, and appear as if polished 
and varnished. It is an upright-growing, round- 
headed tree, or it may be grown in the form of a 
shrub, in which case it closely resembles the 
privet. Being, however, more rapid in growth, 
it can be used instead of privet for tall hedges 
and screens, especially near the shore. We have 
specimens which have been trained in the form 
of the bay tree. 
WALNUT. Juglans 
See, also, Nut Trees 
Black, y. nigra. The Black Walnut is one of the 
largest trees in this region, where the strength 
and ruggedness of its far-reaching branches ren- 
der it worthy of admiration. It needs ample 
room for its aggressive roots, as other plants do 
not thrive near it. The nuts are of good quality. 
White (Butternut). /. cinerea. The tree is smaller 
than the Black Walnut. 
English J. regia. It is not generally known that 
Long Island contains many old specimens of the 
Japanese Poplar. Compare the good foliage of ihe Japan- 
ese Poplar with the poor foliage of the Carolina Poplar, at X, 
after midsummer when it becomes infested with a fungous rust. 
The foliage of the Japanese Poplar is thick, leathery, rich dark 
green until late autumn. Ours is the only stock on the market. 
English Walnut, continued 
English or Persian Walnut. Although tender 
while young, it may be readily established. 
Japanese. /. cordiformis. This is a rapid-growing 
tree resembling the Butternut, 
Maple showing abundant feeding-roots skilfully dug, compared with one oi the same age, as sometimes grown and dug.
