THE TRUE BAT WILLOW. 
(Salix alba var. caorulea). 
The fastest growing, most profitable and best 
variety. 
This fine Willow is a first cross between Salix 
fragilis and S. alba, and is known as Salix alba 
ccerulea. It was at first thought to be only a 
variety of S. alba, but is found to grow much 
faster than that variety, and that it occurs 
only as a female plant. 
It will thrive on moist, low -lying grass lands, 
by the side of ditches, or in fact on any good 
land with a fair depth of soil, it is of remark- 
ably quick growth, and good three-year-old 
plants under fair conditions will in sixteen or 
eighteen years from the time of planting attain 
a marketable sizo for cricket bat making, and 
should be W'orth from £5 to £10 per tree. 
The true variety which we offer is grown 
from cuttings originally taken by Mr. Shaw, 
the eminent bat-maker, from a tree which he 
selected as being the best variety for making 
high-class cricket bats. 
A limited quantity of Standards, 6 — 8 ft. 18/-
