Text Appearing After Image:
THE COTTONWOOD (Populus deltoidea) The quick-growing tree assumes dignity with age, though wind breaks its limbs. The leaves keep fresh despite the smokeand dust. The catkins appear before the leaves in March. On pistillate trees the seeds ripen in green balls, which open to dis-«harge their fluffy contents in May. The buds are sealed with wax. The wood is now being used for boxes
