Pin  Oak 
Quercus  palustris.  (L)  A  tree  of  especial 
grace  and  beauty;  it  is  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  fine  stock  of 
these  desirable  trees  that  have  recently  been 
transplanted  and  are  in  splendid  condition  for 
planting  now.    See  illustration  above.

Chestnut  Oak 
Quercus  prixus.  (L)  One  of  the  quickest- 
growing  Oaks,  forming  a  broad,  open  tree.  Dis- 
tinctive because  the  leaves  so  closely  resemble  those 
of  a  Chestnut.  Should  be  used  more  frequently  on 
lawns  and  roadsides.  In  Autumn,  the  leaves  turn 
shades  of  scarlet  bronze  and  yellow.

Red  Oak.  Quercus  rubra.  (L)  A  large  native 
tree,  with  deeply  cut,  bright  green  leaves.  It  is  a 
good  grower  and  not  particular  about  the  soil.  In 
Autumn  the  foliage  turns  a  rich  purplish-crimson, 
that  is  scarcely  surpassed  in  brilliancy  by  any  other 
tree.  Each        10  100
