A white oak with leaves resembling 

 those of the chestnut, and with long, 

 large, shallow-cupped acorns. 



Leaves deeply cut, with bristle-tipped 

 points; acorns ripening in 2 seasons; 

 large, with very, shallow cups. 



An oak with thicker, large, glossy 

 leaves which are more or less minutely 

 woolly beneath; acorns with small 

 cups, as deep or deeper than wide. 



A red oak with smaller leaves and 

 smaller and shallower cupped striped 

 acorns. 



A red oak with leaves very deeply cut, 

 the upper central portion being very 

 narrow and sometimes slightly 

 curved, and with dense, tawny- 

 yellow wool beneath. 



A red oak; leaves not toothed, small, 

 tapering from broad top-end to the 

 base; sometimes 3-lobed. Small 

 acorns with shallow cup. Much 

 planted as street trees throughout 

 South. 



A red oak with leaves resembling a 

 smooth-edged willow or peach leaf. 

 Much planted as street shade tree 

 in Middle Atlantic and Southern 

 States. 



An evergreen oak with narrow, smooth- 

 bordered leaves which are turned 

 under on the edge and pale-woolly 

 beneath and glossy above; small, 

 pointed acorns with long stalks. 



Leaves smooth, broadly heart-shaped 

 with finely toothed edge; fruit a 

 cluster of little woody balls sus- 

 pended from the middle of a long 

 narrow leaf-like bract. 



Similar to basswood except that the 

 leaves are whitish (or minutely 

 woolly) beneath. 



Leaves finely toothed, long pointed; 

 fruit a long-stalked, single-seeded 

 berry with very thin, sweetish flesh. 



Leaves sharply toothed; fruit flat, pap- 

 ery, about }o inch long, fringed 

 around with tiny hairs. 



Long leaves, very rough on the upper 

 side; inner bark is slippery when 

 chewed, and the flat fruits have a 

 smooth edge. 



Differing from other elms in having 

 fruit minutely hairy all over, and 

 twigs with conspicuous, corky ridges. 



Evergreen tree, the leaves having spiny 

 teeth, and fruit a bright red berry, 

 remaining attached through the 

 winter. 



Leaves with saw-tooth edge; fruit a 

 light brown spine-covered bur con- 

 taining a 3-cornered brown nut. 



Long narrow leaves with sharp, for- 

 ward-pointing teeth; fruit a spherical, 

 spiny bur containing several brown 

 nuts. A plant disease is rapidly 

 killing chestnut. 



Leaves smaller than chestnut and 

 finely woolly beneath; but one nut in 

 the spiny husk. Mostly known as a 

 shrub, but reaches tree size. 



Leaves slender, long-pointed, and 

 finely toothed. The largest of our 

 eastern willows, difficult to distin- 

 guish from other willows. 



Large leaves, very broad at base, 

 toothed, whitish beneath, with round 

 leafstalk. 



Leaves triangular, long-pointed, 

 toothed, smooth, with flattened leaf- 

 stalk.
