Quercus  palustris.  PiN  Oak.  This  is  considered 
the  most  beautiful  of  all  the  Oaks,  and  is  certainly 
the  most  popular  for  street  and  park  planting. 
As  the  tree  grows  the  branches  droop  until  the 
lower  ones  touch  the  ground,  giving  it  a  pecu- 
liarly beautiful  ovate  outline.  The  leaves  are 
deep  green,  glossy  and  finely  divided,  flaming 
to  orange  and  scarlet  in  the  fall.  The  avenues  of 
Pin  Oaks,  in  Fairmount  Park,  Phila.,  and  at 
Dosoris,  L.  L,  are  greatly  admired.  See  Plate  III.
