Shade Trees 
QUERCUS (Oak). In the way 
of shade trees for lawns, 
parks, public grounds or 
avenues, there is perhaps no 
other tree so popular or so 
universally used as Oaks. 
Their broad spreading heads 
and sturdy trunks makethem 
especially suitable for these 
purposes. They are very 
long-lived, and few other 
trees have the hardihood to 
withstand unfavorable loca¬ 
tions and weather condi¬ 
tions. Several kinds are 
especially suitable for plant¬ 
ing on the seashore, as they 
withstand the salt spray re¬ 
markably well. Generally, 
but erroneously, supposed 
to be very slow growers; 
they are, on the other hand, 
of fairly rapid growth, cap¬ 
able 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 bril¬ 
liant in autumnal 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 withstands the un¬ 
natural conditions remarkably well. The 
leaves are dark green and glossy and beau¬ 
tifully divided. In the late fall, they are 
brilliant scarlet. After the tree attains 
some size the branches droop, giving a 
very graceful appearance. Price, 2 to 3 
feet, 35 cts. each, $3 per 10. 
Phellos (Willow-leaved Oak). A rapid¬ 
growing variety of symmetrical propor¬ 
tions. A medium-sized tree very desira¬ 
ble for yard planting. Price, 2 to 3 feet, 
35 cts. each, $3 per 10. 
Live Oak 
Quercus virginiana (Live Oak). A very sturdy 
and beautiful evergreen, adapted through¬ 
out the southern states. It is very popular 
for shade, avenue and park planting, re¬ 
taining, as it does, its dark green leaves 
throughout the winter months when most 
other trees are bare of foliage. Price, 2 
to 3 feet, 35 cts. each, $3 per 10. 
Laurifolia (Laurel Oak). A native of the 
southern states, with laurel-like leaves 
and well-rounded top. Desirable variety.
