The LOCUST 
For ornamental purposes as well as shade trees no 
other oak will ever come near being as satisfactory as 
the Pin Oak. This is, therefore, the only kind; we are 
listing here, and we know that the Pin Oak will make 
you a wonderful tree. 
V . ' ■ V~' ' •< : 
•A . i; . . . 
Pin Oak (Quercus Palustris). Upright, vigorous grow¬ 
er. Without pruning, this tree wall make as fine a 
crown as can be found on any shade tree barring none. 
There are not very many Pin Oaks to be seen, but the 
few there are, certainly are admired. Grows faster 
than any other oak. The leaves stay on during the 
winter, falling in the spring. Perfectly hardy. If you 
have ever noticed a Pin Oak of about 5 years or older, 
you will agree with us, this is a wonderful tree.
