' Ginkgo (triloba) - Maidenhair-tree. The Ginkgo (Gink'-go). is bee of the most primitive of our trees, and botanically it ranges beneath the flowering, and even beneath the conifers. In appearance the Ginkgo is perhaps the most Japanesque, the leaves being fan-shaped. The Ginkgo, like the Meta sequoia glyptostroboides, was apparently carried over from a previous age in Australia and China - pehaps in Japan. Both trees were, and maybe in places are yet, recognized as a shrine. The Ginkgo usually grows with a single trunk to a height of 120 feet. The bark is ashy gray, branches nearly parallel, twigs are yellowish-brown and smooth. The bark on twigs separates in shreds. The fan haped leaves are alternate, in clusters of 3 to 5 on spurs, and 2 to 3VS inches across and more or less incised, and turn - yellow in fall. This tree is in different to heavy or light soil, and transplants easily. Male trees only should be planted, because the fruit is obvoid, yellowish and ill-smel-ing, due to fatty acid called ginkgoic acid. A beautiful specimen of the Ginkgo is in yard near the northwest corner of the house at 122 Oregon Terrace, end of Queen Ann st. This tree is 50 to 60 years old. A younger tree is in the yard at Park View Home, 906 West Main st., one in the parking strip a 820 West Fourth st. There are a few others in Medford. Ginkgos are for Havana and Sutter streets, 70 to 80 . feet apart. $sw it in a Day 9498 SIZES 2-10 try 1flk;1fl?fc. Crisp, fresh, easy-sew!
