a century m Scania. Few of the willow species can be considered ornamental, though the male plants of S. 
pentandra and amygdalina produce numerous showy catkins of a bright yellow color, and very odoriferous. 
The leaves of S. pentandra are also fragrant, exuding a copious yellow resin from their serrated edges. The 
down of the seeds of this and other species, mixed with the third part of cotton, has been found a useful adidter- 
ation, especially for stuffing cushions and forming candle-wicks. Goldfinches and other birds line their nests 
with this material. 
The weeping-willow is generally admired ; it grows wild on the coast of Persia, and is common in China. It 
is sometimes said to have been introduced by Pope, but the celebrated suecimen of that tree which stood in
