Platanus: Plane, Sycamore or 

 Buttonwood 



Oriental: Plane. Platanus Orientalis. (L). 

 Considered by many writers of the best authority, to 

 fill all the requirements, necessary for citv planting 

 better than any other shade tree. Grows in a great 

 variety of soils and withstands the smoky atmosphere 

 of cities. It is hardy, thrives near the seashore, and 

 is remarkably free from disease and insect attacks. 

 Its rapid growth also adds to its value, making a 

 most popular and satisfactory tree for avenue plant- 

 ing. 



The splendid quality of Moons' Plane Trees is 

 testified to in the following letter: 



"In answer to your inquiry of July 10th, 

 the Plane is a tree new to New Haven, but 

 those planted during the past three years 

 have given great satisfaction. I consider 

 them especially valuable on streets where 

 conditions are severe and other trees might 

 fail. Every one of the 400 bought from you 

 this Spring came out in leaf, and the loss from 

 various causes since is less than half a dozen. 

 They were a clean, well-rooted, even-sized 

 lot of trees, and I hope to receive the same 

 treatment in the future dealings with you. 

 Very sincerely yours, 

 Geo. a. Cromie, Supt. of Trees 

 New Haven, Conn."
