winter are qualities which make It exceptionally 
valuable.

tree. Tolerant of soot and smoke, used as a 
street tree in cities.

POPULUS — POPLAR 
P. NIGRA ETALICA. (Lombardy Poplar). A tall, 
slender troe of rapid growth, reaching great 
height and not to be construed with the Caro- 
lina Poptar. Specimen often reach 50 feet, with 
spread of less than 10 feet, and for this reason 
when_ trees are needed for narrow. places,

it.

P. SURRULATA. (Japanese Flowering Cherry). No 
other flowering tree has the beauty of these 
wonders of the Orient. As the demand grows

they are shallow rooted and do not necessarily 
have to have rich soil in which to thrive. 
NADEN. Large double, blush-pink variety. Mid- 
season. 
KWANSAN. Deep pink, shading to old rose late, 
very double.
