Deciduous Trees 



Residence of Mr. John L. Lawrence, Lawrence, L. I. This new seaside lawn, planted with low-spreading Pin 

 Oak, Wild Cherry, and old Dwarf Boxwood, has immediately the charm and repose of a half century's growth.

OAK, continued 



and then return to make new roots. These new roots, just getting to work, may not supply the de- 

 mands for moisture in summer, and the tree may die. Our Oaks have the roots properly trained 

 for transplanting, and are carefully dug. The pruning should reduce the buds to 15 or 25 per 

 cent of the original number, leaving some large buds at the end of each branch. Wrapping the trunk 

 with straw, and mulching the ground, help to establish the tree. Understanding these principles, no 

 more trouble need be expected with Oaks than with other trees. 



Pin. Q. palustris. The Pin Oak is a thickly branched tree of upright ovate form and graceful 

 habit. It is the most popular and most generally planted of the Oaks. It may be identified by 

 its habit of drooping its long, slender lower branches at a uniform ancle. The small glossy 

 leavf s are bright red in autumn. As an avenue or broad-spread- 

 ing lawn tree it is unsurpassed. Trees 50 feet high transplant 

 readily and grow well. Besides the usual sizes we offer many 

 Pin Oaks, 20 to 30 feet, and 30 to 40 feet high, as illustrated be- 

 low, and strongly recommend their use. They give a dignity 

 and completeness attainable with few other trees. Prices, in- 

 cluding delivery on the tree- 

 mover and planting, on applica- 

 tion. The roots are so trained 

 that they may be safely shipped 

 by rail. 



Scarlet. Q. coccinca. This species 

 is so named from its bright scar- 

 let autumn color. The tree re- 

 sembles the Pin Oak in foliage 

 and form, except that the lower 

 limbs are horizontal or ascend- 

 ing. We offer specimens 10 to 

 15 feet high. 



Red. Q. rubra. The Red Oak is 

 a large and noble tree, with 

 strong, wide-reaching arms. The 



large leaves in autumn are a dull palr o{ pin Qaks and hedge of old Boxwood> 4 to feet hi h> moved with
