Beech, Fagus ferruginea.*† Specimens which are symmetrically developed are among our best lawn trees; picturesque in winter.
European beech, F. sylvatica.† Many cultural forms, the purple-leaved being everywhere known. There are excellent tricolored varieties and weeping forms.

European ash, F. excelsior.† There is a good weeping form of this.
Maiden-hair tree, Ginkgo biloba (Salisburia adiantifolia).‡ Very odd and striking; to be used for single specimens or avenues.

Kentucky coffee-tree, Gymnocladus Canadensis.* Light and graceful; unique in winter.
