TREES 



QUERCUS Prinus. Chestnut Oak. Here is an Oak that likes dry ground and grows fast. 

 It is native on the Rockaway Peninsula where the subsoil is like glass marbles. It is 

 so frequent on the gravelly slopes at Cold Spring and Oyster Bay, that Prof. Whit- 

 ford of Yale School of Forestry in his report on "Forests of Long Island," classified it 

 as a Chestnut Oak region. On a lawn near here, Chestnut Oak was dark green and 

 solid, while Ash were losing their limbs; broad-leaved European Lindens were yellow; 

 Elm trees were slender and starved. The Chestnut Oak was the same age and 

 just as big and better.

Q. Robur fastigiata. Pyramidal English Oak. Good tree of Lombardy 

 Poplar shape, but subject to mildew and Winter killing perhaps once in twenty years. 

 8 ft. high, 4 ft. spread $15.00 each 



Q. rubra. Red Oak. Large foliage, bright Autumn colors, rapid growth and wide 

 spreading, gravity-defying branches. If you wish a grove of Oaks include this. 

 Many people think that the majority of Oaks of Long Island are Red Oaks, but the 

 Red Oak is native on moister soils around Locust Valley and Freeport. What they 

 think is Red Oak on the hills and the out wash plain, is the Black Oak.

0« velutina. Black Oak. See description under Scarlet Oak. Some of these larger 

 trees moved with a ball of earth would be just what you want — a broad, dignified 

 tree for sandy soil. The expense of digging and handling with a ball of earth is 

 the occasion of high prices for the larger Oaks quoted here, but that is the 

 best and surest method of securing broad, shady Oak. The price is not nearly so 

 important as the beauty of the landscape and the knowledge that you are doing what 

 Nature would do, but you are doing it first.

TILIA. Linden. For description, see page 3. For illustration, see page 2. They 

 have been grown in the best possible way, planted in squares and trimmed to broad, 

 symmetrical heads. A real estate development which wishes to distinguish itself 

 should consider these Lindens for some of the streets. Plant them for a grove or 

 low-branched boundary screen. Call and see lower priced trees where we wish to clear.
