PIN OAKS. SUGAR MAPLE. 



The Pin Oaks at the left show the winter characteristics of the tree. This oak 

 develops a distinct main stem from which the limbs come out almost at right angles. 

 This tend> to give the tree a picturesque appearance and one which is rather inter- 

 esting during the winter months. These trees have been planted about 20 years. 



The Sugar Maple shown at the right gives a good idea of the vigor with which this 

 tree grows when it is found in natural surroundings. Evidently this specimen was 

 growing for many years among other trees which caused the formal shape which it 

 now presents. For street planting the Sugar Maple should be used sparingly.

EUROPEAN LIXDEXS ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. 



Thi.s Linden (Tilia vulgaris), the European form, is somewhat more 

 desirable for roadside planting than our native linden or Basswood. The 

 general character of growth is much finer than that of the native tree. Its 

 adaptability to a wide range of soil conditions and its comparative freedom 

 from insect attacks combined, with its extreme hardiness, make it one of 

 the best kinds of trees for country roadsides, village and city streets.
