Quercus. The Oaks 



"Strength, Solidity, Durability are Symbolized in the Oaks."

 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.

 known, grand old native tree, with broad, spreading 

 head. It grows easily in most any soil. Seldom 

 requires trimming or attention, and will reach a

 and characteristic outline. The leaves are deep 

 green, glossy and finely divided, flaming to orange 

 and scarlet in the Fall.

Chestnut Oak 



Quercus Prinus. (M). One of the quickest 

 growing Oaks, forming a broad, open tree. Dis-

 posing and stately dignity. Also it is splendidly 

 suited for street and avenue use.
