TREES 



F. sylvatica. European Beech. A tree with darker foliage and bark than the American 

 Beech, and better suited for planting in the open lawn and for hedges. Come and 

 see them and note their perfect preparation through many years which insures your 

 having matured effect of 15-year-old trees. You can use these low-branched specimens 

 to shut off the street and to get away from the monotony of the usual shrubbery and 

 hedge, as on page 2. You can use them as a background to the garden or separat- 

 ing it from the service court.

GINKGO biloba. Maiden Hair Tree. A tree that gives every promise of growing 

 here as in the temple grounds of Japan one thousand years, and a tree that stands 

 city smoke. Some trees are old enough to be beyond their youthful awkwardness and 

 can be added to collection of beautiful trees.

 Dogwood, with white snowdrop-like flowers in May. Eventually grows 30 ft. high, 

 as you can see 300 ft. west of the Jericho Post Office. You had better get one tree 

 at least and if you have room for ten or twenty get some small ones.

KCELREUTERIA paniculata. Golden Wreath, or Varnish Tree. This will blossom 

 soon after you plant it — great golden panicles over 1 ft. long; 1 ft. wide in July. You 

 can use it to enliven your shrubbery during the dull season. It will soon spread out 

 like an old Dogwood.

LARIX (Larch). Many people admire the fleecy, feathery-green which comes out 

 ten days before other trees. We have both the European, Larix europsea and the 

 Japanese, Larix leptolepis.

LINDEN. See Tilia. 



LIQUIDAMBAR styraciflua. Sweet Gum. One of the handsomest trees of Long 

 Island and the least known. It will be a new friend on your lawn. Its colors are 

 the deepest scarlet and crimson mottled with clear yellow. It makes a big, symmetrical 

 treelike the Linden, Pin Oak, or Sugar Maple. You can use the large ones as part of a 

 grove of big shade trees. These large trees are moved with big balls of earth, so you 

 can have them at any time of the year. The smaller trees, 8-12 ft., you had better 

 get m the Spring as they dislike Fall planting. Of these small sizes we have magnifi- 

 cent stock which you can use for general planting, covering the hillside or valley or 

 street planting. They are as straight as can be. You should not lose this opportunity 

 to get a good native tree when it is available.
