Lombardy Poplar. Populus nigra italica .—A rapid growing 
tree with a spire-like form. Generally short lived here because of 
attacks by borers. The Bolleana Poplar is suitable for such pur¬ 
poses as the Lombardy Poplar is generally used. 
Soft Maple. Acer dasycarpum .—Suitable only for large lawns 
and open areas where the roots can spread. Rapid in growth for 
a few years, but generally short-lived. Attacked by scale. Not 
recommended for street planting.
