Quercus  •  The  Oaks 
'  Strength,  Solidity,  Durability)  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. 
Quercus  alba.  White  Oak.  (L)  This  well-known 
;i:rand  old  forest  tree  is  unsurpassed  for  orna- 
mental purposes,  when  given  space  to  develop. 
It  has  stout,  spreading  branches  that  form  a 
broad,  open  head.  Our  White  Oaks  have  been 
I  frequently  transplanted,  resulting  in  splendid 
1  root  systems  that  reduce  the  possibility  of  loss 
in  removing  these  trees  to  a  minimum.
