Cover photograph. Black poplars two years after planting at the Mediterranean Populetum, 25 kilometers from FAO Headquarters at Rome. This populetum was established by the Agriculture and Forest Experiment Center (Prof. A. de Philippis, Director) of the National Agency for Cellulose and Paper of Italy upon a recommendation of FAO's International Poplar Commission. It contains most of the poplar types cultivated in the member countries of FAO's Subcommission on Mediterranean Forestry Problems, as well as a large number of other cultivars of potential interest to those countries.
