QUERCUS. Oak 



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 where 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 col- 

 lection embraces a variety of forms and includes the finest.
