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 nigra River Birch 
A moisture-loving, graceful tree. Remarkable for its torn, ragged bark which
