Quercus pa I ustris (Pin Oak) 
JUGLANS nigra (Black Walnut). A very large, native, 
hardy tree. Rather slow growing, producing valuable 
timber. Large leaved, picturesque foliage which turns 
yellow in autumn. Valuable as a nut bearer. 
J. regia (Persian or English Walnut). Hardy trees bear¬ 
ing a profusion of nuts that are considered the most 
choice of this family. 
J. Sieboldiana (Japanese Walnut). Large spreading tree 
with large leaves. Producing nuts in clusters. Nuts 
are longer and rougher than Persian. 
LIRIODENDRON tulipifera (Tulip Tree). A large tree 
with a broad, rather pyramidal form. Has a clean, 
perfectly straight trunk with dark, smooth bark, regu¬ 
larly serrated. Leaves large and of unusual shape, 
being chopped off at the tip. Immense, tulip-shaped 
blossoms, greenish-yellow, marked with orange, ap¬ 
pear in May or June. A hardy native. Suitable for 
street or lawn. 
MORUS alba pendula (Weeping Mulberry). Un¬ 
doubtedly the most graceful weeping tree. Its beau¬ 
tiful foliage and long, pendulous branches make it 
very fine for specimen setting. Height 6 to 10 feet. 
PL ATANUS orientalis (European Planetree). The Euro¬ 
pean equivalent of our native buttonball or sycamore. 
Will withstand hard city conditions. Used chiefly as 
street trees. 
POPULUS canadensis (Carolina Poplar). A horticul¬ 
tural cottonwood, pyramidal in form and vigorous in 
growth. Leaves large, glossy, pale to deep green. 
Valuable for street planting on account of its ex¬ 
ceedingly rapid growth. 40 to 50 feet. 
P. nigra italica (Lombardy Poplar). Another well-known 
old horticultural variety of very characteristic narrow, 
upright growth, with light green, small leaves. Grows 
rapidly, often reaching over 50 feet. Not entirely 
hardy. 
QUERCUS—Oak 
Q. alba (White Oak). One of the largest and best of 
our native trees. In common with the other oaks, of 
rather slow growth at first, but if given good soil and 
room develops into splendid specimens, having 
spreading heads. Leaves are smooth, of a bright green, 
turning to purplish color in autumn. 50 or more feet. 
Q. palustris (Pin Oak, Water Oak). Tall, with spreading 
branches on graceful lines. One or the best rapid 
growing oaks. Quite pyramidal in shape. Glossy, 
dark green, deeply-cut leaves, becoming orange to 
scarlet in the fall. Entirely hardy, preferring damp 
places. A popular street tree, long lived and subject 
to no diseases or insect pests. 
Q. rubra (Common Red Oak). A magnificent, native 
tree, rapid growing, forming a tall, round head. 
Foliage long, graceful and shiny, turning to a bronzy 
hue in autumn. An excellent specimen and all-round 
tree. Acorns very large. 
SALIX babylonica (Willow) (Babylon Weeping Wil¬ 
low). The best of the weeping willows, always 
popular. Delicate foliage, borne on exceedingly 
graceful, slender branches. Rapid growing and quite 
hardy. 
S. niobe (Golden Weeping Willow). Grows like the 
Babylon Weeping Willow but has yellow branches. 
S. pentandra (Laurel Willow). A small, rapid growing 
tree with shining dark green foliage. Fine for speci¬ 
men or tall hedge, especially at seashore or in other 
exposed places, as it thrives anywhere. 
SORBUS americana (American Mountain Ash, Dog¬ 
berry). A small stocky tree with dark green, unusual 
and very distinctive foliage. Rather inconspicuous 
white blossoms in late spring, followed by large 
clusters of showy, bright red berries, remaining on 
the tree all summer. Once it is established, considered 
a great prize among native trees. Height, 30 feet. 
TILIA (Linden). 
T. americana (American Linden, BasswPod). A large, 
round-topped native tree of rapid growth. Foliage 
large and heart-shaped, producing dense shade. Very 
fine and popular for avenue planting. Its mid-June, 
showy flowers furnish one of the finest honey-pastures 
for bees, and the soft, very white timber is prized 
for manufacturing uses. 
T. vulgaris (Large-leaved European Linden). Magnificent 
shade trees for street or home grounds, often grow¬ 
ing to 120 feet. Resistant to diseases and insects. 
ULMUS A mericana (American Elm). The commonest 
of elms and the stateliest—unsurpassed in size and 
majesty. Fits any place where shade and large trees 
are useful. Even as a small tree it is beautiful. For a 
perfect specimen the elm must stand alone, uncrowd¬ 
ed and unrobbed of moisture, sun or air.
