The  Beeches 
Fagus 
These  are  among  the  most  attractive,  ornamental  trees  for  lawn  or  park  plantings.    They  are 
useful  for  avenues,  high  screens  or  as  specimens.    Hardy,  and  rarely  subject  to  insect  ravages. 
The  deep,  dark  red  leaves  of  the  Purple  variety,  the  delicately  cut  foliage  of  the  Fern-leaved,  and 
the  grotesqueness  of  the  Weeping  Beech  are  characteristics  meriting  their  more  general  use.  Like 
other  hard-wood  trees,  they  require  pruning  when  planted.

F.  sylvatica.  European  Beech.  (L)  A  compact, 
long-lived  tree.  The  foliage  is  dense  and  darker 
green  than  the  American  Beech.  The  dead  leaves 
hang  on  all  winter  and  make  this  one  of  the  very 
best  trees  for  screens  and  hedges  to  shut  off  un- 
sightly objects.  It  is  also  appropriate  for  indi- 
vidual planting.  Grows  easily  in  almost  any  place.

(M)  A  remarkably  vigorous  tree,  of  curious, 
picturesque  growth.  Its  twisting,  gnarled  and 
contorted  downsweeping  branches  resemble  rich 
fountains  of  foliage,  and  make  it  indispensable 
as  a  specimen  or  in  breaking  up  the  regular 
outline  of  other  trees.  One  of  the  most  charm- 
ing weeping  trees  in  cultivation.     g^^H  doz.

in  summer  to  purplish  green  in  fall.

F.  Riversii.  Rivers'  Purple  Beech.  (L)  The  fin- 
est of  all  purple-leaved  trees.  When  a  large- 
growing  tree  with  purple  foliage  is  wanted, 
nothing  equals  this.  Though  it  varies  in  inten- 
sity of  color  from  early  spring  until  late  fall,  the 
leaves  are  always  a  rich  shade,  sometimes  crim- 
son and  sometimes  almost 
black.  EACH  DOZ.
