Populus. The Poplar 
Populus Caroliniensis (Carolina Poplar). A rapid- 
growing native tree of upright growth. A very 
popular shade tree, and widely planted. After the 
tree has attained a height of 15 to 20 feet, it is ad¬ 
visable to cut the leadei. This will cause the tree to 
make a spreading head. The Carolina Poplar re¬ 
sembles the Cottonwood, but is quite distinct.

Prunus Mume (Japanese Double-flowering Apricot). 
A very early blooming variety. In March the tree is 
entirely covered by a mass of beautiful double pink 
blossoms, making a most pleasing tree for the lawn. 
The bark being a light shiny green gives the tree a 
most conspicuous appearance. Ultimate height, 10 
to 15 feet. 
P. Pissardi (Persian Purple-leaf Plum). The most valu¬ 
able of all the purple-leaved trees. It retains its deep 
color throughout the warmest weather, and its 
leaves until midwinter. We cannot endorse it too 
highly.
