SHINGLE OAK. (Quercus Mrioaria.) 



The Shingle oak is equally desirable with the Pin oak. Its foliage 

 is a fine glossy green, well colored in the fall and retained through 

 the winter. It has transplanted readily and made good growth. 



KED OAK. (Quercus rulra.) 



The Red oak has been used in replanting land where a quicker- 

 growing species of tree is standing. It transplants readily and has 

 been easily grown from the acorns. It is a fine, handsome tree, the 

 fall coloring being excelled by none. 



BLACK OAK. (Quercus tinctoria.) 



The Black oak has been grown upon the campus and compares 

 closely with the Red oak except in fall coloring. 



BUR OAK. ( Quercus macrocarpa.) 



The Bur oak has been grown successfully in various locations upon 

 the College cmmpus and in forest plantings among larger trees. It is 

 rather more difficult to transplant than the species previously named, 

 but it is easily grown from acorns. The trees are frequently rough 

 and somewhat irregular in appearance even while young, but are 

 always strong and vigorous in appearance. 



YELLOW CHESTNUT OAK. (Quercus muhlenbergii.) 



The Yellow Chestnut oak, like the Bur oak, is rather difficult to 

 transplant, but, like it also, is easily grown from acorns. It has been 

 of slower growth than most other species, but has succeeded well in a 

 variety of soils. 



CHESTNUT OAK. (Quercus prinus.) 



The Chestnut oak has made a good growth in a variety of soils. 

 The young trees are handsome, very slender in growth, and succeed- 

 ing well among other species. This oak has been transplanted quite 

 easily, and although but few acorns have been planted, they have 

 germinated well. 



SWAMP WHITE OAK AND WILLOW OAK. 



(Quercus bicolor.) (Quercus phellos.) 



The Swamp White oak and the Willow oak are represented by but 

 few trees these growing in the lowest ground on the campus. They 

 are hardy and have made good growths.
