Pin Oak 
(Quercus palustris ) 
[g til 
For general pMntin 
Pin Oak is unequaled. It 
presents points which dis¬ 
tinguish it readily from 
other Oaks, and is un¬ 
doubtedly the most valua¬ 
ble variety for all practi¬ 
cal purposes, either as a 
specimen for the lawn, or 
for street planting. It 
transplants easily, grows 
well in either wet or dry 
ground, and is, in fact, the 
quickest-growing of all the 
Oaks. Its form is pyram¬ 
idal, trunk straight, branches horizontal, and somewhat droop¬ 
ing. The foliage is airy, evenly divided, of a beautiful, shin¬ 
ing green that colors to warm red and yellow in the autumn.

Sweet Gum 
( Liquidambar ) 
There is often need of a really good tree for street or lawn 
planting, where the large growers take up too much 
space, and under such conditions the 
Sweet Gum readily suggests itself 
With frequent transplanting in the 
nursery, this tree moves with per¬ 
fect safety. The form is pyram¬ 
idal, branching clean and open, 
the foliage almost star¬ 
shaped, of a good green 
through the summer months 
and most gorgeous with its 
purple and golden colorings 
in autumn. In addition to 
this, the cork-like bark on 
the branches adds an inter¬ 
esting feature during the 
winter months. The Sweet Gum, most brilliant in autumn
