home farm.

and vigorous in all soils, this Willow has been widely disseminated. 
It is usually grafted 5 to 7 feet high on stout stems, and then forms a 
cone of glossy folioge.

sized tree, with shining, laurel-like leaves that make it very conspicu- 
ous in sunshine. Can be clipped into form like a bay tree ; has bright 
green bark ; is beautiful the year round

spicuous at all seasons, but particularly in winter on account of its 
yellow bark.

red ; similar in color to Comus Sibirica. 
SOPHORA Japonica. Japan Pagoda Tree. A low-growing, odd 
and unique specimen tree, so different from other trees in style of 
growth that it always attracts attention. In August its shining green 
ieaves are decked with clusters of white blossoms.
