The Kadsura Tree 
Of Japan’s newer introductions this is one of the best. For 
use as a specimen tree, it is most unusual and desirable. Excel¬ 
lent effects are obtained by groups of threes and fives, or in 
combination with other plantings. It is of rapid growth, with 
branched trunk and rather ascending branches, forming a 
broad, pyramidal head. The leaves are heart-shaped, of fresh 
green in the early spring, coloring in fall to most unusual shades 
of purple, yellow and salmon-pink. 
The Beech 
(■ Fagus ) 
A lordly tree, with great, smooth trunk and spreading 
branches. Though it never reaches the size of the chestnut, 
it is far more beautiful and much longer-lived. 
English Beeci-i. No better variety can be selected where a specimen is 
required. It is effective on the outskirts of heavy plantations, or along 
the borders of the woodland. Of more compact form than the American 
Beech, it carries its foliage very late and makes an excellent screen or 
windbreak. 
Purple Beech. When judiciously planted, is one of the most effective 
objects that can be introduced into a landscape. Distinctly a specimen 
tree; early in the season the foliage is bright, glossy, and of that rich 
. *m*mr *^...x Durolish Color which is SO intense in rlenth 
The spreading branches of the English Beech give it an air of distinction
