PLATANUS . The Plane Trees 
The Plane trees are closely associated with us and our activities. They thrive in our 
urban centers, in our parks, along our river banks. They like to be near us on our farms. 
We can hardly conceive of an old spring-house without a great Buttonwood shading and 
protecting it. We all know their mottled bark.

The Poplars are a lively and interesting group with characters all their own. Their 
rapidity of growth, their constant, sensitive movement, 
in the wind endear them to us.

This is a round but open headed little tree, and the clusters of pale green fruits, con- 
trasting with the glossy dark green foliage, are very interesting.
