Japanese Flowering Cherries 
The Japanese Cherries planted around the 
Tidal Basin at Washington have added 
greatly to the popularity of this group. They 
are trees of medium height, some pyramidal 
to vase shape, and some of the weeping 
type. The different varieties cover a long 
season of bloom, with the single varieties 
flowering first. In summer their glossy green 
leaves make them attractive as lawn trees. 
In New England they should be planted in 
sheltered locations.

Upright fastigiate habit of growth. 
P. Kofugen. Crimson buds opening to

QUERCUS - Oak 
“Qld Ironsides” was built of New Eng- 
land Oak, the symbol of strength and 
character. Contrary to popular belief and 
with few exceptions, the Oaks are not slow- 
growing. Sturdy and of noble proportions, 
they are one of our best ornamental street 
and lawn trees. The foliage is especially 
attractive, turning to brilliant scarlet and 
red in the autumn.

BETTER PLANTS 
Adams MN ursery, owes 
White Oak 
The king of all Oaks—a rugged, open- 
headed tree of tremendous proportions. 
Magnificent specimens requiring plenty 
of room. Compared with the other Oaks, 
the growth is slow. Foliage assumes a 
deep red tone in fall. 
Swamp White Oak 
One of the most rapid-growing Oaks. 
Thrives best in a moist, well-drained soil. 
Scarlet Oak 
A fine specimen with spreading branches 
and round, open head. Especially valu- 
able for its brilliant scarlet fall coloring. 
Prefers a dry location. 
Mossy-cup Oak 
A large tree up to 80 feet, with spreading 
branches. Branchlets have corky bark. 
Comparatively rapid growing. 
Water Oak 
Tree up to 80 feet, with rather slender 
branches forming a conical, round top 
head. Rapid growth and easily trans- 
planted. Used as a street tree. 
Pin Oak 
Rapid growing, symmetrical tree — per- 
haps the best Oak for lawn and avenue 
planting. Easily transplanted and endures 
city conditions. Its deeply cut foliage 
turns rich crimson in fall. Prefers a moist 
location. 
Chestnut Oak 
Tall, round-topped dense head. Foliage 
similar to the common chestnut, turning 
yellow in the fall. 
Red Oak 
Beautiful Oak of rapid growth, growing 
into a large, majestic tree with a broad, 
round head. A superb street or lawn 
specimen with its smooth bark and dark 
red autumnal color. Easily transplanted 
and prefers a dry location. 
Salix blanda, Wisconsin Weeping Willow
