Betula — The Birches 
This is a small family of trees with a grace and charm all its own. 
Mostly used as lawn specimens or in effective positions upon the 
grounds; they are also splendid mingled with other varieties in an 
open woodland, and the light-barked kinds are beautiful grouped at 
the edge of a thicket or forest. 
The Birches are among the groups that transplant with greatest dif- 
ficulty. While we exercise every care in handling them, we sell them 
at the purchaser’s risk. Careful watering after planting usually helps 
them to succeed. 
Betula papyrifera Canoe Birch 
When young, the stem is dark brown, which causes many people to question the 
variety, but as it develops, the trunk becomes white, with a loose graceful head and 
large handsome leaves.
