Quercus. The Oaks 



**Strength, Solidity, Durability are Symbolized in the Oaks'* 



THESE grand trees, possessing so many virtues, do not grow so slowly as it is often supposed. Their 

 broad, spreading heads make them desirable shade trees for lawns, parks, public grounds and 

 avenues. The brilliant Autumnal coloring of some species is everywhere commented upon. Most 

 varieties retain their leaves during the Winter, serving as a shelter for squirrels and birds. There is some- 

 thing about an Oak which impresses you that these stately trees are among the most noble creations in 

 the realm of plant life. Some kinds are rather difficult to transplant, but worth the extra effort required 

 to establish them.
