SALISBÌJRIA, S m i t h , In honour of Eichard Anthony
Salisbury, a distinguished English botanist.
Linn. 21, Or. 9, Nat. (Jr. Taxàcem,
The Maiden-hair Tree is well worth growing, if
only on account of its singular foliage. The
male and female flowers being produced on
two dillerent trees, the readiest way of obtaining
fruit would be to graft or bud both sorts
on the same tree, or by growing both trees
near each other. Common garden soil suits
it, and it is readily mcreased by layers. The
fruit has never been perfected in this country,
but in China the tree is extensively cultivated^
for the purpose of procuring it.

càcece. An extensive genus of well-known,
useful, and ornamental trees and shrubs.
They all delight to grow in swampy places,
and are increased by cuttings ; though some of
the more rare alpine kinds root with difficulty.
Many of the species of willow are extensively
grown for the manufacture of basket-rods.
The best sorts for cultivating for hoops are
S . c a p r e a and S . v iminà l i s . The branches of
some of the species are used as stakes, poles,
handles to rakes, hoes, and a great variety of
economical purposes. In the north of Europe
the bark o i S . d l b a is used for tanning leather,
and for dyeing yarn of a cinnamon colour, and
the leaves and young shoots are given to cattle
in a green state, or dried like the tv/igs of the
birch, and laid up for winter fodder. The
leaves of S, herbácea, soaked in water, are em-
])loyed in Iceland for tanning leather. Synon
