SALIX: THE WILLOWS 
The willow plays a prominent part in the tem¬ 
perate regions of the United States. Easy to 
transplant, strong, rapid growers, make them very 
desirable for many situations. The above illus¬ 
tration shows a very happy and effective use of 
the Willow Babylonica. They never require any 
particular attention and succeed well in rather dry 
soils. They arc also desirable for planting along 
streams, to prevent banks from washing. The 
bright yellow catkins in spring arc attractive, 
while the red and yellow branches of some va¬ 
rieties are very handsome in winter.
