Poplar - Populus 
Populus nigra italica (Lombardy Poplar). A tall, slender tree 


of rapid growth, reaching great height and not to be con- 
fused with Carolina Poplar. Specimens often reach 50 feet, 
with a spread of less than 10 feet, and for this reason when 
trees are needed for narrow places, between buildings, con- 
gested lawns, narrow avenues, Lombardy Poplar may be 
used to advantage. Because of its great height and quick 
growth it is recommended for backgrounds of buildings, to 
add character to plantings or to offset straight or bare 
lines; for screening unsightly views, fire protection from 
close buildings, or windbreaks—and for quick effects we 
recommend it. Each Five

bolleana (Solleana Poplar). Just because the Carolina 
Poplar is an enormous weed and nothing else, one should 
not discriminate against all the Poplar family. Bolleana 
Pcplar has glittering green leaves, silvered underneath, 
and makes an attractive display against the sky when 
they are set in motion by a gentle breeze. The bark is 
gray, giving a pleasing winter effect. It is a fast growing, 
slender columnar tree, a little wider than Lombardy, which 
it resembles at a distance and for which it should be used 
as a substitute. Each Each
