Poplars
Poplars — tall, slender, rustling trees — often touch an omen of good when in leaf and bloom, with extravagant hopes realized and disappointment if withered. The dream may ask where graceful, upward growth is promising you wealth and worthy company, and whether the trees of your prospects stand green or bare and dying.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for poplars, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing poplars, is an omen of good, if they are in leaf or bloom.
For a young woman to stand by her lover beneath the blossoms and leaves of a tulip poplar, she will realize her most extravagant hopes.
Her lover will be handsome and polished. Wealth and friends will be hers. If they are leafless and withered, she will meet with disappointments.
