 for shingles. 



The Pin Oak is a rapid-growing ( )ak and easily transplanted ; 

 it is extensively used as a shade tree along- driveways, on lawns 

 and in parks. 



The secondary branches are numerous, so small and fine that 

 they probably warrant the common name. Pin Oak.

 shaft like Cypress. 



Bark dark gray, nearly smooth. 



Leaves borne on long stems ; 5 to 9 oblong deeply-cut lobes, 

 with sharp, bristly tipped teeth. 



J : ntit acorns, small ; nuts, striped, set in shallow, soucer- 

 shaped cups. 



No. 2. /. Spanish Oak Qnercns digitata. 



The Spanish Oak is found on dry, gravelly or sandy soil, but 

 most abundant in the southeastern part of the State, west of the 

 mountains. 



The wood, strong and coarse-grained, checks badly while sea- 

 soning, and is not prominent in the lumber markets. 



The unique and varied shape of the foliage makes the Spanish 

 Oak an attractive ornamental tree. 



Leaves oval in outline, drooping in habit and covered with 

 down on the under surface ; terminal lobe, elon- 

 gated, so deeply and variously cut as to challenge 

 any uniform description. 



Fruit acorns, long, slender : nuts set about one-fourth of 

 length, in top-shaped, scaly cups.
