Shade Trees 
QUERCUS (Oak). In the way of shade trees 
for lawns, parks, public grounds or ave¬ 
nues, there is perhaps no other tree so 
popular or so universally used as Oaks. 
Their broad spreading heads and sturdy 
trunks make them especially suitable for 
these purposes. They are very long-lived, 
and few other trees have the hardihood 
to withstand unfavorable locations and 
weather conditions. Several kinds are 
especially suitable for planting on the 
seashore, as they withstand the salt spray 
remarkably well. Generally, but errone¬ 
ously, supposed to be very slow growers; 
they are, on the other hand, of fairly rapid 
growth, capable of holding their own with 
many other forest trees. Nearly all of the 
varieties are exceedingly 
handsome in their green 
summer dress, and many of 
them are brilliant in autum¬ 
nal coloring. The small 
trees are easy to make live, 
but should be well cut 
back at time of planting. 
Palustris (Pin Oak). One of 
the most popular Oaks for 
lawn or avenue planting. 
Particularly suitable for 
planting in cities, as it with¬ 
stands the unnatural condi¬ 
tions remarkably well. The 
leaves are dark green and 
glossy and beautifully di¬ 
vided. In the late fall they 
are brilliant scarlet. After 
the tree attains some size 
the branches droop, giving 
a very graceful appearance.
