WILLOW, NIOBE (Salix: niobe) 
The hardiest variety of Weeping Willow. Has attractive yellow 
twigs for winter effect. Grows 30 feet high here in moist soil. 
Takes up too much space for a fifty foot lot. 
WILLOW, PUSSY (Salix caprea) 
Raised mainly to procure bouquets of the attractive buds or cat- 
kins which are on the stems in early Spring, Plant in an out-of-sight 
location where each Spring all the limbs can be cut for catkins. More 
limbs will grow to be cut the following Spring, and easy to reach. 
Avoid the production of a trunk and grow like a shrub.

west but does not bloom. As we come into Missouri we will see bloom 
on this variety.
