Scarlet Oak. This tree 

 is even less exacting as to 

 soil than the Red Oak. It 

 will grow almost anywhere 

 and the brilliant coloring 

 of its autumn foliage fully

 of these Oaks brightens the 

 landscape with the striking 

 beauty of a forest of flame.

 the Pin Oak is to wet clay. 



OAK 



hastened by proper location 

 and good soil, while its long 

 life comparable with that 

 of the Live Oak and the

 mild climate and general 

 conditions are favorable, the 



White Oak. While 



better suited for lawn plant

 but capable of being pruned
