The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. Of rapid growth, fine habit, hardy, adapted to a 
groat 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, aud bright green lmrk in winter: the Palm-leaved, with glossy, beautiful leaves, ami bright red bark in 
winter; the Golden, with bright yellow bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery foliage, are all meritorious 
The case with which they can be transplanted, aud the brief time they require to form good sized trees, are strong 
arguments in favor of their employment.
