SALIX. Willow. Weide, Ger. Saule, Ft. 
The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. Of rapid growth, fine habit, 
hardy, adapted to a great variety of soils, and easily transplanted, they can be used by planters 
to great advantage. Several sorts are well known; others have not received the attention they 
deserve, for example, the Royal Willow, with its silvery foliage, is a striking tree, and most 
effective in landscapes; the Laurel-leaved, with handsome, shining, laurel-like leaves, and 
bright green bark in winter; the Palm-leaved, with glossy, beautiful leaves, and bright red 
bark in winter; the Golden, with bright yellow bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery 
foliage, are all meritorious. The ease with which they can be transplanted, and the brief time 
they require to form good sized trees, are strong arguments in favor of their employment. 
S. Babylouica. Babylonian or Weeping Willow. A native of Asia. 
Our common and well known Weeping Willow. 
var. Salamonii. From France. More vigorous and upright than the 
species, while it retains its weeping habit. 
S. caprea var. pendula. Kilmarnock Weeping Willow. A variety 
of the Goat Willow or common Sallow. Grafted five to seven feet high upon the 
Comewell stock, it forms, without any trimming, an exceedingly graceful tree, with 
glossy foliage and perfect umbrella head, unique in form. Vigorous and thriving 
in all soils, it is probably more widely disseminated than any of the finer ornamental 
trees. $1.00. 
var. tricolor. Three-Colored Goat Willow. Worked four or 
five feet high it forms a very pretty round-headed tree, with distinct, tri-colored 
foliage. 
S. lauritolia. Laurel-leaved Willow. A fine ornamental tree, with very 
large, shining leaves. 
S. pal H136 folia. Palm-leaved Willow. A vigorous growing varietv, foli¬ 
age deep green. Young wood reddish purple. 
S. pentaildra. A distinct and handsome species, with broad, thick, shining 
foliage. 
S. purpurea pendula. American Weeping or Fountain Wil¬ 
low. A dwarf slender species from Europe. Grafted five or six feet high it makes 
one of the most ornamental of small weeping trees, hardier than the Babylouica. $1.00. 
S. regalis. Royal Willow. An elegant tree, with rich, silvery foliage. 
Very effective in groups. 
S. ritfida pendula. When grafted five or six feet high this makes a fine 
weeper; the branches are long and slender; the leaves large, glossy, and pale 
green. $1.00. 
S. rosmarinifolia, or petiolaris. Rosemary-leaved Willow. When 
worked five to seven feet high, a very striking and pretty round-headed small tree. 
Branches feathery ; foliage silvery. 
S. Russeliana. An upright grower with dark green foliage. 
S. vitellina aurantiaca. Golden Willow. A handsome tree. Con¬ 
spicuous at all seasons, but particularly in winter on account of its yellow bark.

deep green leaves.
