 Oriental Plane 



{Platanus Orientalis)

 requirements necessary for city planting better than any other shade 

 tree. Grows in a great variety of soils and withstands the smoky 

 atmosphere of cities. It is hardy, thrives near the seashore and is 

 remarkably free from disease and insect attacks. Its rapid growth 

 also adds to its value, making a most popular and satisfactory tree 

 for avenue planting.

OAKS 

 Pin Oak 



{Quercus Palustris) 

 It is the most popular of all Oaks; unsurpassed as lawn specimens, 

 admired for avenues. As the tree grows the branches droop, giving 

 it a pecuUarly beautiful and characteristic outhne. The leaves are 

 deep green, glossy and finely divided, flaming to orange and scarlet 

 in the Fall. This variety transplants more readily than some kinds, 

 and with proper care will grow almost as quickly as a Maple.

[Quercus Rubra) 



A large native tree, with deeply cut, bright green leaves. It is 

 a good grower and not particular about the soil. In Autumn the 

 fohage turns a rich purphsh crimson that is scarcely surpassed in 

 brilliancy by any other tree. Makes a beautiful lawn tree, also 

 suited for avenue planting and some authorities claim it will grow 

 well under city conditions. Landscape authorities are using this 

 Oak more freely each season in their plantings, realizing that it is 

 one of the best.
