L. STYRACIFLUA. (Sweet Gum). Another native

nor especially easy to transplant, but the glossy 
star-shaped foliage in summer, the brillian

of the young branches with corky bark in the 
winter are qualities which make it exceptionaily 
valuable.

POPULUS — POPLAR 
P. NIGRA ITALICA. (Lombardy Poplar). A tall, 
slender tree of rapid growth, reaching great 
height and not to be construed with the Caro- 
lina Poplar. Specimen often reach 50 feet, with 
spread of less than 10 feet, and for this reason 
when trees are needed for narrow places, 
between buildings, congested lawns, narrow 
avenues, Lombardy Poplar may be used to 
advantage, and for quick effect we recommend 
it.
