Womb Inuitta Gilfords Poplars By ANNIE IIOYIZS Everywhere you look you see poplar trees in Gilford It would seem strange without them part of the landscape especially the stately Lombardy towering straight and high and the sturdy silver loaf with its beautiful fol iagc of dazzling green and white The aspen trembling with the slightest breeze finds place on main and front streets adding their loveliness to the surround ings while few Carolinas are found on lawns The Lombardy was popular in early days and favorite choice for the corner of lot the corner of farm by the roadside or on each side of gateway Evidenccsof such are still seen in the community At the corner of the Owen Bcll home an orig inal planting measures some 20 feet in girth The remains of an old poplar at Frank Steels is an other of huge dimensions Fine specimens of gateway pop lars are at the Gibbons homestead and Miss Bertha Gibbons hopes there will always be poplar at the gate Miss Cassie Roberts favors the oldcustom It adds to the appearance of the place she says The church still in use and the only one ever built in the vicinity stood for years within rows of silver poplars with Lombardy on each of the two gates one for vehicles the other for pedestrians With the march of time fence gates and trees have gone At one time there was row of Lombardies from the saw mill south east of the station house to Woodlawn the farm home of the mill owner now Wilford Neillys which made an arresting pictUre for miles around On the southGilmmLsidc road the poplars have taken possession of the fence rows There they ourish in their natural beauty and many of the silver leaf are thick with foliage from the ground upind present varied pictures in storm and sunshine They look as if they were made of popcorn at times when the wind is blowing says Mrs Doug las Rothwell who admires their close long range of beauty and hopes they will remain and not be cut down Again in the setting sunthcir velvety whiteness reflects the rosy tints and changesthem to an ar ray of pink When strong wind lifts those deafy limbs upward as if in prayer the emotions are stirred with the sublimity of it all TheodosiaGarrlson admired the
