Oak-Leaved except that it has pinnate 
leaves.

leaves; distinct and fine. Covered in 
autumn with bright scarlet berries.

shade or ornamental trees; when given 
plenty of room it forms a fine, round, 
dense head. In autumn its foliage pre- 
sents varying and very beautiful colors 
as cold weather approaches, often be- 
coming gorgeous.

growth, forming a wide, round' head of

tive trees. Not difficult to transplant 
when nursery grown, and not as slow 
growing as most people think. In sizes 
up to five and six feet.

beautiful of all the oaks and is certainly 
the most popular for street or park 
planting. As the tree grows, the

touch the ground, giving it a peculiar 
ovate outline. The leaves are deep 
green, glossy and finely divided, chang- 
ing to orange and scarlet in the fall. 
The avenues of Pin Oaks in Fairmont 
Park. Philadelphia, are greatly admired.
