The firft fort is the common white Willow, which is 
frequently found growing on the fides of rivers and 
ditches in many parts of England. It grows to a large 
fize, if the branches are not lopped off-, the fhoots are 
covered with a fmooth, pale, green bark the leaves 
are fpear-fhaped, between three and four inches long, 
and one broad in the middle, drawing to a point at 
each end ; they are very white on their under fide, 
and their upper fide is covered with ihort, white, 
woolly hairs, though not fo clofely as the under the 
katkins are Ihort and pretty thick. The wood of this 
fort is very white, and poliffies fmooth. 
The fecond fort grows to be a large tree, the young 
branches are covered with a grayifh bark j .the leaves 
are fmooth, of a lucid green, ending in acute points ; 
they are eared at their bafe, and fawed on their edges, 
and are green on both fides ; the branches grow pretty 
ereeft and are flexible, fo this is frequently planted in 
Ofier grounds for the bafket-makers. The katkins 
of this are long, narrow, and the feales open, and are 
acute-pointed. 
The third fort hath thick ftrong fhoots, covered with 
a dark green bark ; the leaves are broad, rounded at 
both ends-, they are very fmooth, fawed on their 
edges, and when rubbed have a grateful odour. It is 
fometimes called the Bay-leaved Willow, and at others 
the Sweet Willow ; it grows quick, and is a tree of 
middling fize ; the branches are brittle, fo are not 
proper for many purpofes. 
The fourth fort has flender tough fhoots, which are of 
a yellow colour ; the leaves are oval, acute-pointed, 
fmooth, and fawed on their edges ; the faws are car- 
tilaginous, and the foot-ftalks of the leaves have cal- 
lous pun&ures. This is very pliable, fo is much plant- 
ed in the Ofier-grounds for the bafket-makers, but it 
never grows to a large fize. 
The fifth fort grows to a pretty large fize ; the fhoots 
are ere< 5 t,. they are covered with a light green bark ; 
the leaves are fpear-fhaped, about two inches and a 
half long, and three quarters of an inch broad in the 
middle, drawing to a point at both ends ; they are of 
a lucid green on both fides, fawed on their edges, 
ftanding upon fhort foot-ftalks ; they have ftipulas in 
form of a trapezium, at the bafe of the foot-ftalk. 
The twigs of this fort are flexible, and fit for the ufe 
of bafket-makers. 
The fixth fort grows to a middling fize ; the fhoots of 
this are very brittle, fo are unfit for the bafket-makers, 
and are covered with a brownifh bark-, the leaves 
are near five inches long and one broad ; they are of 
a lucid green on both fides, and are fawed on their 
edges ; the katkins are long and flender, and the feales 
are pretty long, acute-pointed, and ftand open. It is 
commonly called Crack Willow, from the branches 
being very brittle. 
The feventh fort is a tree of middling fize; the 
fhoots are very pliable, and fit for the bafket-makers, 
fo is much planted in the Ofier-grounds ; they are of 
a reddilh colour ; the leaves are fpear-fhaped, fmooth, 
and fawed on their edges ; thofe on the lower part of 
the branches are placed oppofite, but on the upper 
they are alternate, and are of a yellowifh green. 
The eighth fort makes very long fhoots, but the tree 
feldom grows to a large fize ; the leaves are very long 
and entire, and arc fet clofe upon the branches ; they
