QUERCUS PALUSTRIS. PIN OAK. 
Oaks for Street, Avenue and Boulevard Planting. 
The desirability of the Oak for use iu Park planting has long been recognized 
and gradually its use for Avenue and Boulevard work became general. Later it 
was used for street planting in cities, and this effort has met with the greatest 
measure of success. 
It is difficult to get a shade tree to thrive iu the streets of most cities, and only 
deep rooted trees are of any use whatever. In this respect the OAK stands well 
to the front. 
The above illustration of a PIN OAK on an avenue near Boston illustrates its 
adaptibility for this purpose. It must be kept in mind also that the Oak is practic¬ 
ally free from those insects like the leaf beetle, brown tail moth and other insects 
which are playing havoc with other popular shade trees. 
Our stock of Oaks will be found to be the largest and finest in the country.
