WEEPING WILLOW IN NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL PARK 



LINDENS 

 Large-Leaved European Linden 



(Tilia Plaiaphyllos) 

 Develops into a beautiful tree having a pj^ramidal head. The 

 leaves are pubescent on the under surface of the veins. The bark 

 of the tree, particularly when young, is hght gray dotted with dark 

 markings. Being rather regular in outline makes it well suited for 

 avenue planting, and when used for this purpose it produces a verj^ 

 uniform and attractive appearance.

ELMS 

 American Elm 



{Ulmus Americana) 

 This Ehn, our most characteristic tree which arches many New 

 England streets, also grows well in other sections. It is of massive 



proportions, long-lived and the branches spread into graceful 

 arches support a drooping canopy of fohage. The shade is not so 

 dense as to interfere wth a good sod underneath. The heads are so 

 open that electric wires do not injure them, a desirable feature in 

 street trees. Its rapid growth and especial grace make it unsur- 

 passed for urban and suburban planting

 flower clusters. As the season advances the flower panicles change 

 to tints of pink and finally to bronze. Always dependable.

PRIVET 



California Privet — Widely known as a hedge plant; it is a

 Not reliably h^rdy north of Boston.
