HORSE-CHESTNUT 
JEsculus Hippocastanum 
The Horse-Chestnut and Buckeye are trees of 
medium to large size, thriving on rich and moist 
soil. Admiration is universally drawn to the Horse- 
Chestnut in early May, when it first bursts into 
flower, and the luxuriant foliage, so suddenly 
formed, casts a heavier shade than any other tree 
at the time. In favored localities it maintains good 
foliage, but in some parts of Long Island the leaves 
turn brown in late summer. 
Red. JE. carnea; syn., JE. rubicunda. A smaller 
growing tree with bright red flowers.
