POPULUS • Poplar 
From a mistaken notion that Poplar trees are all 
alike, the Poplar has been banned by many munici¬ 
palities. It may be conceded that the Carolina Poplar 
is rapacious and detrimental in cities because of its far- 
reaching roots, but there are many other varieties that 
have much to recommend them.
