The Norway Poplar is a valuable
tree in its proper place: but, like most
good things, it is likely to be overrated
and misused This has happened in
the case of several other well known
species, and has brought discredit up
on them where the fault was with the
ignorance and lack of judgment of
those handling them.
Every species has range of region
in which it makes it's best growth and
reaches its best development. In some
cases, as with the Catalpa, the Chest
nut and the Norway Poplar, this
growth in it's native district is remark
ably rapid, and wonderful results are
obtained. These results attract the at
tention of people in other districts,
of them. The magnitude of the posi-
BILE results overshadows everything
else, and they forget that the natural
range OF the coveted tree is limited,
and it's success in new district
doubtful. Inscriptions dealers do
not hesitate to exaggerate its won.

tricts where they know it's success is
next to impossible. About the best
example of this is the hardy Catalpa
Its natural range is in Indiana; yet it

ure.
The facts in the case of the Norway
Poplar are these: 1t is probably a
form of the staminate cottonwood; but
its origin and exact classification are
unknown. 1t was introduced some
years ago into Southern Minnesota and
Nebraska, where it made remarkably
rapid growth. One fence-row, located
in rich soil in moist location, and
the trees planted one rod apart, at
tanned maximum diameter of sixteen
inches, and an average height of fifty
five feet, in ten years The form Of
the tree was very good, and the wood
Of better quality than that of the
common Cottonwood or TIE Carolina
Poplar.
This remarkable performance Ger.
tainly was worthy of attention, and no
sooner was the news of it noised
abroad than the demand for cuttings
far surpassed the supply. The dan
ger then was that the tree would be
carried beyond its range, large
amounts OF money be expended in
planting, and failure result.
The tree is certainly worth trying
throughout the state, especially in the
prairie district; but these paintings
should be started on small scale.
With the present demand for cuttings,
the price is very high. small plan
tation will test the hardness of the
new location in a few years; and, if
successful. will furnish cheap cuttings
for further planting. This is the only
safe method anywhere north of ST.
Paul or on the open prairies
The plantation, once established,
should be very carefully thinned to
obtain the best results; as the species
demands plenty of light, and grows
but slowly in dense plantations. There
are number of plantations which are
old enough to furnish valuable data,
but they have never been thinned, and
ing the possibilities of the species.
The Norway Poplar deserves to be
tried out extensively, but in small
plantations and cautiously.
