SaJIx Salanionii. 
Salix Salamonii 
This is a variety of the Weeping Willow, but 
not nearly so pendulous as the common form, 
and we believe it to be the fastest-growing tree 
in the world, not excepting the eucalyptus, so 
much planted in California. We cut down one 
of these Willows in our nursery when it was 
seven years old, and it measured 13 inches 
through the trunk. It makes a very good-look¬ 
ing tree, as will be seen by the illustration 
above, and has the good qualities of leafing out 
■very early in the spring, and of holding its foli¬ 
age until late in the fall. This tree starts into 
growth quite early and should be planted as 
early as possible in the spring. 
One-year-old trees, $1.00 each, $10 per 12. 
Two-year-old trees, $1.25 each, $13 per 12.; 
$90 per 100. Trees older than this are really 
too large to handle.
