Betula. The Birches 



THE 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.

Weeping Cut-leaf White Birch. A graceful tree with 

 long, drooping branches whose glistening white bark is 

 so attractive in Winter. The Birches are picturesque trees 

 at all times of the year, especially in Winter when planted 

 in connection with evergreens, where the contrast which 

 the white bark makes with the shades of green is most 

 beautiful.

Nearly all varieties of shade trees can be safely planted during the 

 Autumn season of October and November.
