WALNUT, continued 
English, or Madeira Nut (J. regia). Comes from Persia. A handsome tree, larger than the 
butternut. Nut round and finely flavored. 
Willow • Salix 
Weeping (.5. Babylonica). The well-known variety 
with long branches which droop gracefully and sway 
with every breeze. It matures rapidly and makes an 
admirable shade tree. Valuable as a single specimen 
to contrast with upright trees. 
Kilmarnock {S. pcndida). Has unique, umbrella 
shape, silvery gray leaves and is vigorous in all soils; 
an exceedingly graceful tree, but likely to grow 
coarse in extreme age. 
New American (.9. purpurea pcnduhi). Pretty and 
graceful, with slender drooping branches and nar- 
row, silvery gray leaves. Similar in habit to Kil- 
marnock, but more graceful and generally satisfac- 
tory as a lawn tree. 
Rosemary {S. rosmaritiifolia). A dwarf Willow of 
fine growth, with long, silky foliage, white under- 
neath. Very ornamental. 
Laurel-leaved {S. pculandra, or laurifolia). A 
handsome, close-growing tree, or good in bush form. 
Leaves dark, glossy green and highly ornamental. 
Excellent for seashore planting. One of the best 
Willows.
