POPLAR, conlinued 
Lombardy (P. fastigiata). A tall form which 
contrasts nicely with the rounded outline of 
other trees. It branches from the ground, and 
is valuable for tree hedge purposes.

habit, growing rapidly, and flourishing anywhere. 
Leaves large, lobed, glossy green above and white 
as snow beneath.

fern-like foliage. Tall and upright, of rapid 
growth, rare and elegant.

faction. They may be trimmed into hedges. 
Flowering abundantly in May and June, they 
are fragrant and showy. Blossoms double and 
rose-colored.

rapidly and makes an admirable shade tree. 
Valuable as a single specimen to contrast with 
upright trees.

umbrella shape, silvery gray leaves and is vig- 
orous in all soils; an exceedingly graceful tree, 
but likely to grow coarse in extreme age. 
New American (S. purpurea). Pretty and 
graceful, with slender drooping branches and 
narrow, silvery gray leaves. Similar in habit to 
Kilmarnock, but more graceful and generally
