Quercus imbricaria Michx. 



The shingle oak of the Americans is a deciduous tree with laurel-like 

 leaves. It grows well at Greendale ; it is a most desirable tree. Planted, 

 1901. Height, 19 ft. 6 in. 



Quercus incana Eoxb. 



This is a very distinct and beautiful oak, but not perfectly hardy here. 

 In severe winters the late growth is destroyed by frost. Trees introduced 

 in 1905 are now 7 ft. high. It is a native of Himalayan India. 



Quercus infectoria Oliv. 



The gall-nut oak of the Mediterranean region. Hundreds of tons of 

 these galls are imported into England annually for use in manufactures. 

 There is much that is interesting about these galls on the oaks of Asia and 

 Europe. Why should the punctures of the different species of insects 

 each produce a different-shaped gall ? Who can tell ? 



Quercus Kellogii Newb. (the California Black Oak). 



This is the Californian representative of the American red oaks, and is 

 growing well in Canterbury. Planted, 1896. Height, 22 ft. 



Quercus laevigata Blume. 



A distinct oak from Japan with the habit of a shrub. Plants here have 

 produced flowers, but no acorns. Planted, 1895.

This evergreen oak from the Himalayas bears large acorns in very 

 singular- shaped cups. Only small plants are growing here.

 and trees have several times borne acorns. Planted, 1905. Height, 11 ft. 



Quercus lineata Blume. 



Small trees growing here have large evergreen leaves of a beautiful shape, 

 A native of the Himalayas and Java.

This is decribed as the most beautiful oak in California. Several trees 

 here are making fair progress, and are now from 8 ft. to 10 ft. high. 



Quercus Lucombeana Sw.

 trees raised here from imported acorns are uniform in appearance, and 

 are growing well.

This has the largest leaves of any oak growing at Greendale ; the acorns 

 are also large, and enclosed in mossy cups. Planted, 1903. Height, 13 ft.
