Possesses a beautiful shade-bearing crown; grows well in ordinary
    soil.

4.  Red maple (Acer rubrum)

    Shows pleasing colors at all seasons; grows best in a fairly rich,
    moist soil.

5.  Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica, alropurpurea)

Exceedingly beautiful in form, bark, and foliage and possesses great longevity and sturdiness.  It is difficult to transplant and therefore only small trees from 6 to 10 feet in height should be used.

6.  Coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioicus)

    A unique and interesting effect is produced by its coarse branches
    and leaves.  It is free from insects and disease; requires plenty of
    light; will grow in poor soils.

7.  European white birch (Belula alba)

    A graceful tree and very effective as a single specimen on the lawn,
    or in a group among evergreens; should be planted in early spring,
    and special care taken to protect its tender rootlets.

8.  Gingko or Maiden-hair tree (Gingko biloba)

    Where there is plenty of room for the spread of its odd branches,
    the gingko makes a picturesque specimen tree.  It is hardy and free
    from insect pests and disease.

9.  Horsechestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)

Carries beautiful, showy flowers, and has a compact, symmetrical low-branched crown; is frequently subject to insects and disease.  The red flowering horsechestnut (A. rubicunda) is equally attractive.

10.  Sugar maple (Acer saccharum)

    Has a symmetrical crown and colors beautifully in the fall; requires
    a rich soil and considerable moisture.

11.  Soulange’s magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana)

    Extremely hard and flowers in early spring before the leaves appear.

12.  Flowering dogwood (Cornus florida)

Popular for its beautiful white flowers in the early spring and the rich coloring of its leaves in the fall; does not grow to large size.  The red-flowering variety of this tree, though sometimes not quite as hardy, is extremely beautiful.

13.  Japanese maple (Acer polymorphum)

    It has several varieties of different hues and it colors beautifully
    in the fall; it does not grow to large size.

CONIFEROUS

14.  Oriental spruce (Picea orientalis)

    is hardy.

15.  Austrian pine (Pinus austriaca)

    Is very hardy; possesses a compact crown; will grow in soils of
    medium quality.

16.  Bhotan pine (Pinus excelsa)
