TREES OF OMAHA. 

 S. V. Fullaway, Jr., and W. R. Chapline, Jr. 



As a further step in the attempt of the Forestry Depart- 

 ment of the University of Nebraska to obtain a complete 

 list of the trees, both native and exotic, of the state, this 

 study was made in the spring of 1911. Similar studies, made 

 at the Morton Estate, Nebraska City, and at the Pollard Estate, 

 Nehawka, were published in Volumes II and III respectively 

 of the Forest Club Annual. 



The trees, from which the following list was compiled, 

 were found in all parts of the city ; the study was made in the 

 parks, on the boulevards, at Forest Lawn Cemetery land the 

 Joslyn Estate and along many of the streets. Much credit in 

 making this a complete list is due to W. A. Adams, Super- 

 intendent of the Omaha Park Commission; J. Y. Craig, 

 Superintendent of the Forest Lawn Cemetery, and I. M. 

 Roman, Head Gardener of the Joslyn Estate. 



The list comprises 171 species, of which 38 are native to 

 Nebraska. It gives both the scientific and common name, the 

 maximum diameter and height, the native habitat and the 

 location in the city of at least one specimen of each of the 

 more important trees that are rare in this region.
