SHADE TREES—Continued 
PLATANUS 
Platanus occidentalis (American Plane). This grand native American tree is some- 
times called Buttonball or Sycamore. It attains great size and spread with open- 
branching and as soon as it reaches a little age will reveal attractive white bark. 
Leaves are large and the shade provided is light and airy. We recommend it highly 
for a rapid growing shade tree in well drained soil.

QUERCUS - Oak 
The Oaks, especially when they attain size, are the most picturesque of all trees, 
symbolizing strength and durability. Their reputation as slow growers is not war- 
ranted, for, when once established, they will make a yearly growth equal to that 
of almost any other species. 
Palustris (Pin Oak). A superb and distinct tree. The Pin Oak’s graceful, drooping 
branches support a mass of deeply lobed, sharply pointed leaves, changing to deep 
red in Autumn. Jack Frost has never shown greater skill than in the coloring he 
produces in Pin and Scarlet Oaks.

TILIA - Linden 
Tomentosum (Silver Linden). Few trees could be 
more handsome than this striking species. The heart- 
shaped leaves are green above and silvery white be- 
neath. Grows into a compact specimen, in June sur- 
rounded by bees gathering honey from the sweetly 
fragrant, greenish-yellow flowers. Resistant to beetle 
injury and altogether a most satisfactory tree.

SALIX - Willow 
Babylonica (Weeping Willow). 
Long, stringy branches droop 
vertically to the ground, and 
with the narrow, light green 
leaves, create a soft, velvety tex- 
ture. Grows rapidly especially 
when close to water.

Americana (American 
Elm). As the Oak is pre-

majesty, the Elm is pre- 
eminent in grace and 
elegance. The graceful, 
umbrella-shaped top, 
borne high above the 
other trees, always adds to

not particular as to soil 
and makes a delightful 
shade as it does not 
branch low, thus allowing 
the breezes free play.
