Betula. The Birches 



,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 when planted in connection with evergreens. 



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.

-A 



The Winter aspect of the White Birch 

 is even more remarkable than in Sum- 

 mer, because the strilcing white bark 

 shows out more conspicuously. Espe- 

 cially does White Birch show to advan- 

 tage when planted among Evergreens.
