Populus - The Poplars 
Inexpensive, hardy, rapid grower, very much in use for quick or temporary 
effects. Easy to transplant, thriving under almost every condition. 
POPULUS alba (Silver Poplar). A very quick growing tree with silvery leaves. Will 
thrive in almost any soil and often where other trees fail. 6-8 ft., 50c; 8-10 ft., 
$1.00; 10-12 ft., $1.50; 12-14 ft., $2.00, each. 
P. Eugenei (Carolina Poplar). If quick results are wanted rather than permanent 
value, plant Carolina Poplars. Planted close they make a thick dense screen, 
planted some distance apart, alternating with some slower growing hardwood 
trees, the Poplars will furnish shade until the others are large enough, then the 
Poplars may be cut out. This is often done. 6-8 ft., 35c; 8-10 ft., 55c; 10-12 ft., 
75c; 12-14 ft., $1.00, each. 
P. nigra italica (Lombardy Poplar!. A tall, shaftlike column of a tree that grows 
quickly, like all Poplars, and often reaches 80 to 100 feet in height. The Lom¬ 
bardy Poplar is not for shade, but for ornament, making a fine effect when 
planted along driveways, and when planted close together the trees make a 
thick, very high screen. Branched always from the ground up. 6-8 ft., 75c; 8-10 
ft., $1.00; 10-12 ft., $1.50, each. 
Salix - Willow 
All the Willows are of peculiar, graceful habit. Their distinct form adds beauty 
to any planting. They thrive best in moist soils and they are most at home by 
the water’s edge. They are of great value in producing the most artistic effects in 
landscape plantings. All varieties are fast growers. 
SALIX caprea. (Pussy Willow). A small, shrubby tree or large bush, with numerous, 
upright branches, not weeping. The catkins are ver f y large, the buds swelling to 
a great size early in the spring; silver-gray and often with a pinkish tinge. 
Highly prized for cutting and furnishing the garden’s first spring beauty to 
house decoration. Florists buy the branches in quantity. Makes a pretty landscape 
or garden effect. 6-8 ft., 75c; 8-10 ft., $1.00, each. 
S. nigra. (Black Willow). Hardy under most trying situations; thrives best where 
soils are moist and water plentiful. 6-8 ft., 60c; 8-10 ft., 85c; 10-12 ft., $1.00, each. 
S. vitellina aurea (Golden Willow). Its brilliant colored twigs make this variety 
very valuable in landscape. Good for windbreak. 6-8 ft., 75c; 8-10 ft., $1.00; 10-12 
ft., $1.25, each. 
Lombardy Poplar. Excellent for tall 
contrast. Breaks the monotony of a 
level sky line.

(European Mountain Ash) 
SORBUS aucuparia. Hardy tree; head dense 
and regular; covered from July till winter 
with clusters of bright berries. 6-8 ft.,

base of the Poplars with short¬ 
er growers along the drive. ■
