DECIDUOUS TREES—Continued 
OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 
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 sym- 
bolical 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 de- 
ciduous. 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 hard- 
woods. When planted as specimens or 
street trees, varieties like Pin Oak, with 
their autumn coloring of yellow, orange 
and scarlet, are the source of enjoy- 
ment 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 dif- 
ficult to transplant and of slow 
growth, but “‘patience brings a per- 
fect reward.”’ Leaves silver to pur- 
plish red in autumn. Not available 
/ 
in 14% or 1% in. sizes.

Q. palustris (Pin Oak). The most pop- 
ular of all the Oaks. Its beautiful 
glossy, deeply lobed green leaves 
change to gorgeous shades of pur- 
plish red and scarlet in the autumn. 
It is symmetrical, easy to transplant 
and of rapid growth. For street, ave- 
nue or as a lawn specimen there is 
nothing superior. Where a desirable 
hardwood tree is wanted we un- 
hesitatingly recommend a Pin Oak. 
Q. borealis (Rubra) (Northern Red Oak). 
Not as compact nor does it color as 
brilliantly as the Pin Oak. Somewhat 
more difficult to transplant but grows 
in almost any soil when established. 
One of the fine Oaks. Not available 
in 134 in. size.

Platanus - Sycamore 
PLATANUS occidentalis (American 
Plane Tree). Our native Sycamore 
which is not appreciated. However, 
if you want a tree of rapid growth, 
rugged in character, picturesque in 
winter with its white bark, you 
should not overlook this grand old 
tree. Fine for woodland and pad- 
dock. Tolerant of soot and smoke, 
and therefore is much used as a 
street tree in cities.
