Avenue of Pin Oaks in Fair mount Park, Philadelphia Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) JUSTLY popular tree is the Pin Oak at present, for it presents points which distin- guish it readily from other Oaks. It is, also, undoubtedly the most valuable variety for all practical purposes. The foliage is dense, finely divided, of a beautiful shining green that colors to sparkling red and yellow in fall. The tree is easily trans- planted, and grows well on wet or dry ground ; is, in fact, the quickest-growing of all the Oaks. As an avenue tree it is unequaled. The illustration shows a Pin Oak avenue in Fairmount Park that is much admired. It is also a good street tree, and one of the best for park planting.
