Populus Certinensis (Russian Poplar). 
A new poplar that deserves more use in landscape work. Its 
foliage is similar to the balsam poplar. This tree is not affected 
by borers like other poplars and thus makes a good street tree. It 
is very hardy, but not as strong a grower as the Carolina Poplar.

OUERCUS:OAK 
No other tree possibly equals the oak in grandeur 
and rugged strength. The oak is the very symbol of 
strength and might. The large heads make them best 
fitted for places of large extent, yet where one stretches 
its broad arms over a small cottage it makes a good 
picture of comfort and protection. Some of the oaks, 
however, are very beautiful on account of the graceful 
and pleasing outlines. The brilliant coloring in Autumn 
of oak leaves is everywhere commented upon. All 
our oaks have been transplanted several times, so no 
risk is run in getting them established. 
Quercus alba (White Oak), 60 feet. 
The grandest of all the oaks. It makes a slow growth but 
forms a broad spreading massive tree. The grandeur and pictur¬ 
esqueness of an old white oak cannot be equaled in nature. Makes 
a good street tree, and a good lawn tree on large estates, or in parks. 
6 to 8 feet. .$2.00. 
Quercus palustris 
(Pin Oak),40 to 50 feet. 
A medium sized oak of 
a very regular pyramidal 
form; has deeply cut 
leaves, dark green in color 
changing to scarlet crim¬ 
son in the Fall. The 
branches stand at right 
angles to the trunk or 
droop with age. This tree 
is fairly easy to trans¬ 
plant, thus is one of the 
best oaks for street pur¬ 
poses.
