SALIX babylonica (Babylon Weeping Willow). 
One of the most graceful of all the Wil- 
lows. Makes a round-topped tree, and 
when it attains some size its long, pendu- 
lous branches are most effective. 
S. blanda (Wisconsin Weeping Willow). Of 
rather upright growth when young but as 
it attains height and age its long, droop- 
ing silvery branches make it the most 
effective of all the Willows. Rapid grower 
in either moist or other good soil. Fine for 
specimens or screens. Best of the Weeping 
Willows. 
§. niobe (Golden Weeping Willow). Best of 
the Golden Willows. Slender leaves, green

Taxodium - Bald Cypress 
TAXODIUM distichum. The great lumber tree 
of the far South, but perfectly at home 
here. Will grow in dry or wet soil and 
blends well in either deciduous or evergreen 
plantings. The light green foliage is needle- 
like, the general shape of the tree resem- 
bles a Spruce. Slow growing, but very 
symmetrical and as durable as an Oak; in 
fact, the lumber is called the ‘’wood 
eternal.”

UlImus - Elm 
ULMUS americana (American Elm). A vigor- 
ous native tree. It is rapid in growth, with 
long, spreading, and pendent branches 
forming giant arches over roads and streets; 
as a lawn tree is quick to make a marked 
effect. The wood is tough and the leaves 
are moderate in size. A permanent tree 
for shade, The beetle that defoliates the 
European Elms usually does not attack 
these.

U. americana moline (J/oline Elm). A grafted, 
upright type invaluable in narrow spaces. 
Its clean growth, large, deep green, heavily 
plaited leaves, added to its sturdiness and

U. Pervifolia (Chinese Elm). A rapid grow- 
ing tree that does especially well in dif- 
ficult situations, like city soot and gases, 
dry and poor ground, narrow street plots, 
etc. Leaves smaller than our native Elm, 
habit more pendent, and of course, much 
more rapid. Only drawback possible is 
sleet damage and Elm beetle injury. Plant 
for twenty to thirty years’ duration. We 
have the North China strain only and it 
will make up as quickly as a Willow.
