Si 



Betula. The Birches 



T 



HE Birches are distinguished for their elegant, graceful appearance, slender branches, light airy foliage, 

 and for the silvery white bark of some of the species. They endure a wide range of climatic conditions, 



and thrive not only in moist locations, but do well even in high, 

 dry or stony places. Are good for natural plantings, also for lawn 

 trees. The white-barked varieties make splendid contrasts 

 planted in connection with evergreens. 



'hen 



European White Birch. Betula Alba. (M). A quick-growing 

 tree that after a few^ years assumes a somewhat pendulous nature. 

 The white bark, which'is more conspicuous in older trees, is a dainty 

 touch to the surrounding greens of the landscape.

The Winter aspect of the White Birch 

 is even more remarkable than in Sum- 

 mer, because the striking white bark 

 shows out more conspicuously. Espe- 

 cially does White Birch show to advan- 

 tage when planted among Evergreens.
