 great beauty.

Chestnut Oak. Quercus Prinus. (M). One 

 of the quickest growing oaks, forming a broad, 

 open tree. Distinctive because the leaves so closely 

 resemble those of a Chestnut. It is worthy of more 

 general use for lawn and park planting because of 

 its imposing and stately dignity.

Red Oak. Quercus Rubra. (M). 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. Makes a beautiful lawn tree, also 

 suited for avenue planting and some authorities 

 claim it will grow well under city conditions.

Black Locust. Robinia Pseudoacacia. (M). 

 A familiar tree of rapid growth that thrives in any 

 place. The pinnate foliage is light and airy. In 

 June the tree is fragrant with panicles of white 

 flowers, and very ornamental. The timber is so 

 durable that it is valued for commercial purposes.

Salisburia . Ginkgo 



Ginkgo, or Maidenhair Tree. Salisburia 

 Adiantifolia. (M). This tree 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.

Salisburia, or Ginkgo. The leaves indicate why this 

 tree is commonly called the maidenhair. For planting in 

 populous portions of our cities and under similar conditions 

 adverse to most tree life this variety grows well.
