"Strength,  Solidit}),  T>urability  are  Symbolized  in  the  Oak 
These  grand  trees,  possessing  so  many  virtues,  do  not  grow  slowly,  as  is  often  supposed.  Their 
great  vigor  and  hardihood  enable  them  to  withstand  the  drought  of  hillsides  and  the  caustic  influence  of 
sea  spray.  Their  broad,  spreading  heads  make  them  desirable  shade  trees  for  lawns,  parks,  public 
grounds  and  avenues.  The  brilliant  autumnal  coloring  of  some  species  is  everywhere  commented  upon. 
Our  Oaks  are  frequently  transplanted,  and  when  thus  cared  for  are  not  difficult  to  establish.  Prune 
severely  when  planting.
