Che Oaks 
The Oak, with all its majesty, is the monarch of the 
woodlands. It is symbolical of strength, permanency and 
character. It has been interwoven, since time imme- 
morial, with literature, art and craftsmanship. The 
family has world-wide distribution, containing many 
species, both evergreen and deciduous. Its timber is 
emblematical of strength and durability. By some it is 
considered of slow growth, but when given a congenial 
soil, develops rather rapidly in comparison with most 
hardwoods. When planted as specimens or street trees, 
varieties like Pin Oak, with their autumn coloring of 
yellow, orange and scarlet, are the source of enjoyment 
to 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 symmetrical 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 (Bur Oak). A native variety of slow 
growth, but becomes a stately tree well covered with 
thick, dark green foliage of heavy texture. For per- 
manency 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 Ook). 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 
specimen there is nothing superior. Where a desir- 
able hardwood tree is wanted we unhesitatingly rec- 
ommend a Pin Oak. 
Q. phellos (Willow Oak). A graceful tree with conical 
head. Long, narrow, willow-like leaves which are whit- 
ish beneath, giving a silvery appearance on a windy 
day. They change to yellow and orange in autumn. 
Q. borealis (Rubra) (Northern Red Oak). Not as com- 
pact nor does it color as brilliantly as the Pin Oak. 
Somewhat more difficult to transplant but will grow 
in almost any soil when once established. One of the 
Lerington, Ken tucky 
fine Oaks.
