QUEKCUS. Oak. Eiche, Ger. Chene, Fr. 



The Oaks, -when they attain size are our most picturesque trees. The species and varieties 

 are numerous, and the majority are adapted to ornament large grounds whei-e they can have 

 an abundance of room. Some kinds, however, are moderate growers, and suitable for small 

 places, especially if kept in good shape by a judicious use of the knife. Our collection em- 

 braces a variety of forms and includes the finest.
