MOON'S TP^EE S 



Notice the picturesque and appealing charm of these Purple Beech. There is a grandeur about them that only 

 a Beech can give. This row of trees was planted by the late Mahlon Moon about 1860. A secluded spot like 

 this would add interest to many lawns. 



Fagus. The Beeches 



THESE are among the most attractive ornamental trees for lawn or park plantings. They are also use- 

 ful for high screens or as specimens. Hardy, and rarely subjected to insect ravages. The deep, dark 

 red leaves of the purple varieties, the delicately cut foliage of the Fern-leaved and the grotesque- 

 ness of the Weeping Beech are characteristics meriting their more general use. The Beeches, particularly 

 our American variety, rival the Oaks for stately appearance. 



American Beech. Fagus Ferruginea; syn. 

 Atropi nicea. (L). Lofty, spreading tree with clean, 

 close-fitting, smooth, gray bark. Stems slender ancl 

 of a reddish brown color. Buds, long pointed with 

 many overlapping scales. These worthy old pro- 

 genitors of the forest are frequently seen throughout 

 the Eastern States and often recognized by the small 

 brown nuts found on the ground.

European Beech. Fagus Svlvatica. (L). A 

 compact, long-lived tree. The foliage is dense and 

 darker green than the American Beech. The dead 

 leaves hang on all Winter and make this one of the 

 very best trees for screens to shut off unsightly 

 objects. It is also appropriate for individual plant- 

 ing.

Weeping Beech; var. Pendula. (M). The 

 drooping branches of this tree present a very pic- 

 turesque effect. In a fully developed tree they look 

 almost like a waterfall. 



One of the better types of weeping trees.

Purple, or Copper Beech; var. Purpurea. 



(M). The beautiful purple foliage of this variety 

 makes it one of the most ornamental trees for in- 

 dividual planting. Useful for producing color con- 

 trasts. Of rather slow growth, but in time develops 

 into a fine specimen. The trees we offer are fine 

 and bushy, being branched to the ground.

River's Purple Beech. Fagus; var. Riversii.

 tions of a shade tree and is not branched so closely 

 to the ground as most kinds. The best purple- 

 leaved tree for lawn planting.
