The Singing Leaves 
But the trees all kept their council 
And never a word said they, 
Only there sighed from the pine tops 
A music of seas far away.

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 
immemoriai, with literature, art and craftsmanship. 
The family has world-wide distribution, containing 
many species, both evergreen and deciduous. Its tim-

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, 
ore the source of enjoyment to him who plants, 
and elicits the admiration of the public. No

QUERCUS alba (Wie Oak). One of the great- 
est of all the Oaks. Rather difficult to trans-

purplish red in autumn. 
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 permanency it has no 
superior. Prefers a deep soil.
