SALIX. SP. Globular-headed willow. S. P. I. No. 17737. 
A remarkable Chinese willow, with a dense, naturally 
flattened globular head, collected by Mr. Frank N. Meyer at 
Scha-ho-schonn, northern China. The small insert shows the 
trees as they appear in winter in their native country, while 
the large photograph shows one of several specimens which are 
growing in the grounds of the City Cemetery at Chico, Cali- 
fornia. They were grown from cuttings sent in by Mr. Meyer in 
March, 1906. This exceedingly handsome tree is growing along 
an old swale where it seems to thrive with a minimum amount of 
water, and on August 13, 1912, when photographed it was about 
20 feet high, With a spread of about 30 feet, and its trunk 
was about 47 inches in circumference. Prom photos by Messrs. 
Prank N. Meyer and P. H. Dorsett, respectively.
