Quercus  palustris.    Pin  Oak.    (L)    A  tree  of 
especial  grace  and  beauty  ;  the  most  popular 
of  all  Oaks  ;  unsurpassed  as  lawn  specimens, 
admired  for  avenues,  and  withstands  well  the 
unnatural  conditions  of  our  cities.    As  the 
tree  grows  the  branches  droop,  giving  it  a 
peculiarly  beautiful  and  characteristic  outline. 
The  leaves  are  deep  green,  glossy  and  finely 
divided,  flaming  to  orange  and  scarlet  in  the  fall. 
We  have  a  large  stock  of  these  desirable  trees 
that  have  straight  trunks,  good  heads,  and  have 
recently  been  transplanted.  each  doz.

Salisburia 
Salisburia  adiantifolia.  Gingko,  or  Maidenhair 
Tree.  (M)  Recently  this  tree  has  sprung  into 
great  popularity,  and  it  merits  the  praise  it  re- 
ceives. It  is  remarkable  as  a  deciduous  member 
of  the  Pine  family,  with  odd-shaped  leaves  that 
resemble  those  of  the  Maidenhair  Fern.  But  its 
value  lies  in  the  fact  that  it  is  immune  from  the 
ordinary  attacks  of  insects  and  withstands  so 
well  the  unnatural  conditions  of  our  cities.  It 
is  highly  ornamental  on  lawns  or  public  grounds, 
and  useful  for  street  planting.  Of  medium  height, 
pyramidal  in  growth,  sparsely  branched  and  of 
characteristic  irregular  outline.        e^ch  doz.
