St)mewhat dificult to transplant on account of its deep rooting. A sujwrior tree for lawns with ample sixice, rivaling the oaks, which it excels in quiet elegance. It is excellent for grouping with evergreens on a large scale. Two species are planted: F. ferruf^inea Ait. (210) (Americana), American Beech, distributed throughout the eastern United States and Canada and â F. silvatica Linn. (211), European Beech. The latter is somewhat less hardy but rather superior by virtue of its earlier leafing out, with smaller, more delicate foli- age, frinped by long hairs around the margin, and with a more compact form. For color efTect, a nat- ural, well-known variety, purpurea (211a), Purple- leaved or Copper Beech, furnishes the finest dark- lea >.d form, fit for small surroundings and for con- trast. It needs favorable sites to maintain its bca'Jty. Several cut-leaved and pendulous varieties are rather attractive; espe- cially var. heterophylla (311/1), and var. quer-. FiG. 99. â European Beech. Fagus silvatica Linn. coides (211c), are beautiful, dense, low trees, with interestingly lobed foliage. â ^r-^-^J^fc--.
