A shrubby tree with beautiful, slightly cut foliage and irregular,

sunlight like jewels. This is one of the most decorative of the Flow- 
ering Crabs.

Quercus — Oak 
Splendid trees, rather slow growing at first, but when 
once established develop amazingly within a few years. They 
are of noble proportions and give an impression of bound- 
less strength and vigor. They make well-proportioned, digni- 
fied trees for boulevard or street planting and they cast a 
welcome shade as lawn specimens. Oaks hold their richly 
colored foliage well into the winter. 
Quercus borealis (rubra) Common Red Oak 
A majestic broad-headed tree with attractive foliage of glossy dark 
green which turns dark red in the fall. One of the finest quick-grow- 
ing specimens, once it has become established. It should be planted 
more frequently along streets as it is a durable long lived tree. It 
is one of the trees which best withstood the recent hurricanes.
