FAGUS - Beech 
The Noblest Trees of Creation 
Beeches are long-lived, symmetrical, and beautiful at all seasons of 
the year. They make excellent, mature specimens casting a dense 
shade. The colored leaf forms are among the finest ornamentals for 
lawns or avenues. Beeches are best moved in the spring, when we 
ship them with the roots carefully balled and burlapped.

of symmetrical habit. Its rich yellow autumn foliage and smooth,

conditions. Each 10 Each 10

smooth foliage, deriving its name from the long racemes of golden 
yellow blossoms, like Wisteria, produced in June. It does best in a 
cool, partially shady spot and ought to be given shelter from the

planted more widely because few people realize how beautiful it is.
