DECIDUOUS TREES 
"THERE are several very handsome Deciduous Trees which are not 
very commonly used. They possess many individual virtues which 
make them desirable, and there is every reason why they should enjoy 
more universal favor. 
The LINDEN, of which there are many fine species, is noted for its heart- 
shaped leaves, clusters of fragrant creamy white flowers, and symmetri- 
cal form. 
The SWEET GUM is particularly valuable for the clear green color of its 
star-shaped leaves which turn to brilliant shades of crimson and purple 
in the Autumn. It has a shaft-like trunk and the branches have an un- 
usual winged cork-like bark. 
The KATSURA-TREE is a pyramidal tree with delicate heart-shaped 
leaves which turn to bright yellow or scarlet and maroon in the Fall. 
The MAIDENHAIR-TREE isan irregular-shaped tree whose limbs reach 
out at fantastic angles. This is one of the few major trees that isknown to be 
descended from prehistoric times, a fact which is recognizable in the 
similarity of its fan-shaped leaf to the Maider-hair Fern. 
The WHITE BIRCH with its gleaming white trunk is a familiar favorite 
at all seasons of the year and is deservedly popular. 
The NORWAY MAPLEisa handsome rapid-growing round-headed tree 
which is rarely bothered by insects or diseases. It is recommended as a 
street or driveway tree or as a lawn specimen where deep cool shade is 
important.
