SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES— (Continued.) 53 
POPLARS. 
Tlirivintf in almost, any soil and standing our hardest 
winters, together wilh its rapid growth, make the Poplar 
the most desirable of all shade trees. 
Canada Poplar— This variety of the well known Poplar 
family is the hardiest of all, and is by far the best foi' 
this section. It is being inereasingly planted year by 
year, and despite our efforts, it seems impossible for our 
Nursery propagator to keep up with the demand. Its 
rapid growth, dark gi^cen foliage and symmetrical form 
easily distingiiisli from any other tree in the landscape. 
Carolina Poitlar— Rapid growi'i', beautiful foliage, but not 
as hardy as the other varieties. 
Norway Poplar — Anotlier good variety, grows to a very 
large size. 
Silver Leaved Poplar — Under side of leaves are a beautiful 
silv(^r grey, making it decidedly distinct from any of (he 
other varieties. 
Lombardy Poplar — This variety is a very rapid grower — 
very erect, forming living pillars of handsome green foli- 
age. This peculiar habit combined with its hardy na- 
ture make it the best variety for windbreaks, the tall 
green pillars rapidiv reaching to a great height.
