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 
immemorial, with literature, art and _ craftsmanship. 
The family has world-wide distribution, containing 
many species, both evergreen and deciduous. Its tim- 
ber 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 ad- 
miration 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. 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 deep soil. 
Q. nigra (Water Oak). A round-topped tree of good 
form. Will arow in either moist or dry soil. Foliage 
green until late fall. 
Q. palustris (Pin Oak). The most popular of all the 
Oaks. Its beautiful glossy, deeply lobed green leaves 
change to gorgeous shades of purplish red and scar- 
let in the autumn. It is symmetrical, easy to trans- 
plant and of rapid growth. For street, avenue or as 
a lawn specimen there is nothing superior. Where 
a desirable hardwood tree is wanted we unhesitatingly 
recommend a Pin Oak. 
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 grows in 
vines any soil when established. One of the fine 
aks.
