Fagus. The Beeches 



THESE are among the most attractive orna- 

 mental trees for lawn or park plantings. 

 They are also useful for high screens or as 

 specimens. Hardy, and rarely subjected to insect 

 ravages. The deep, dark red leaves of the purple 

 varieties, the delicately cut foliage of the fern-leaved 

 and the grotesqueness of the Weeping Beech are 

 characteristics meriting their more general use.
