FAST-GROWING TYPES VALUABLE FOR PRODUCING SCREEN EFFECTS : Page 462
This list consists of two distinct groups of fast-growing material:that group of which the ailanthus, poplar, willow, and elder are typical,being the very rapid-growing types of material, and that group of whichthe remaining trees and shrubs are typical being rapid-growing types
which are more or less permanent in their character of growth. Thetypes contained in this last group establish themselves much morequickly than trees and shrubs of a similar kind, which require a longerperiod after transplanting before making a normal growth.
Such shrubs as the weigela, the ninebark, and the privet are oftenused to obtain quick mass effects of foliage around the base of buildingsin locations where the slower-growing types of shrubs, such as lilacs,bridal wreaths, and snowballs would require a much longer time todevelop a similar effect.
