pendent branches are most effective.

upright growth when young but as it attains height and 
age its long, drooping slivery branches make it the 
most effective of all the Willows. Rapid grower in 
either moist or other good soil. Fine for specimens or 
screens. Best of the Weeping Willows.

Quercus - Oak 
“A glorious tree is the old gray oak; 
He has stood for a thousand years, 
Has stood and frown’d 
On the trees around, 
Like a king among his peers.” 
—GEORGE HILL 
The Oak, with all its majesty, is the monarch 
of the woodlands. It is symbolical of strength, 
permanency and character. It has been inter- 
woven, since time immemorial, with literature, 
art and craftsmanship. The family has world- 
wide distribution, containing many species, both 
evergreen and deciduous. Its timber is emble- 
matical of strength and durability. By some it is 
considered of slow growth, but when given a con- 
genial soil, develops rather rapidly in comparison 
with most hard woods. When planted as speci- 
men or street trees, varieties like Pin Oak, with 
their autumn coloring of yellow, orange and 
scarlet, are the source of enjoyment of him who 
plants, and elicits the admiration of the public. 
No lawn is complete without an Oak 
Quercus alba (White Oak). One of the greatest 
of all the Oaks. Rather difficult to transplant 
and of slow growth, but ‘patience brings a 
perfect reward.” Leaves silver to purplish red 
in autumn. 
Q. coccinea (Scarlet Oak). A beautiful sym- 
metrical tree very much resembling the Pin 
Oak Not quite as rapid in growth, leaves 
somewhat smaller and deeply lobed. Colors 
brilliantly in the fall. 
Q. macrocarpa (Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak). A na- 
tive variety of slow growth, but becomes a 
stately tree well covered with thick, dark green 
foliage of heavy texture. For permanency it 
has no superior. Prefers a moist or deep soil. 
Q. nigra (Water Oak). A round-topped tree of 
good form. Will grow in either moist or dry 
soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris (Pin Oak). The most popular of all 
the Oaks. Its beautiful glossy, deeply lobed 
green leaves change to gorgeous shades of 
purplish red and scarlet in the autumn. It 
is symmetrical, easy to transplant and of rapid 
growth. For street, avenue or as a lawn speci- 
men there is nothing superior. Where a de- 
sirable hardwood tree is wanted we unhesitat- 
inoly recommend a Pin Oak. 
Q. phellos (IVillow Oak). A graceful tree with 
conical head. Long, narrow, willow-like leaves 
which are whitish beneath, giving a silvery 
appearance on a windy day. They change to 
yellow and orange in autumn. 
Q. rubra (Red Oak). Not as compact nor does 
it color as brilliantly as the Pin Oak. Some- 
what more difficult to transplant but will 
arow in almost any soil when once established. 
One of the fine Oaks.

Taxodium - Bald Cypress 
Taxodium distichum. The great lumber tree of 
the far South, but native and perfectly at 
home here. Will grow in dry or wet soil and 
blends well in either deciduous or evergreen 
plantings. The light green foliage is needle- 
like and the general shape of the tree re- 
sembles a spruce. Considered slow growing, 
but very symmetrical and as durable as an 
oak; in fact, the lumber is called the ‘’wood 
eternal.’’ Each

Ulimus - Elm 
Ulmus americana (American Elm). A vigorous 
native tree. It is rapid in growth, with long, 
spreading ,and pendent branches forming giant 
arches over roads and streets; as a lawn tree 
is quick to make a marked effect. The wood 
is tough, the leaves are moderate in size, and 
make a permanent tree for shade. The beetle 
that defoliates the European Elms usually does 
not attack these. Each Five

tree that does especially well in difficult situa- 
tions, like city soot and gases, dry and poor 
ground, narrow street plots, etc. Leaves smaller 
than our native Elm, habit more pendent, and 
of course, much more rapid. Only drawback 
possible is sleet damage and Elm-beetle injury. 
Plant for twenty to thirty years’ duration.

will make up as quickly as a willow.
