The tree is of medium size, and rapid growth ; beautiful fern-like foliage, in shape resembles somewhat a Maiden Hair Fern, hence the name. Rare and elegant. § SALIX. Willow. Weide, Ger. Saule, Fr. The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. Of rapid growth, fine habit, hardy, adapt- ed to a great variety of soils, and easily transplanted, they can be used by planters to great advantage. Seve- ral sorts are well known; others have not received the attention they deserve, for example, the Royal Willow, with its silvery foliage, is a striking tree, and most effective in landscapes; the Laurel-leaved, with handsome, shining, laurel-like leaves, and bright green bark in winter; the Palm-leaved, with glossy, beautiful leaves, and bright red bark in winter; the Golden, with bright yellow bark, Britzensis with red bark and Colorado with blue bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery foliage, are all meritorious. The ease with which they can be transplanted, and the brief time they require to form good sized trees, are strong arguments in favor of their employment. S. Babylonica. Babylonian or Weeping Willow.
