p SHADE rREEs.-Shade trees are not
only beautiful, but they are useful as
well as ornamental. We should have
more shade trees in Norfolk; in fact,
every street, more or less, should be
shaded by them, They would not only
render the city more beautiful, but
would also afford comfort, these hot, sui
try days, to pedestrians, and their un-
brageous foliage would protect them
from the danger of sun-stroke. An
exchange in speaking of the same, says:
1T is no exaggefation to state that
building lots. in front of which the
towner has planted ems or other thrifty
trees, which sell for ten per cent. more
t1au adjoining lots without such trees.
1t therefore pays to set out shade trees,
! to say nothing of the comfort and en-
Enlistment they afford, Huodreds of
citizens wonld have trees if it were not
tconsidered troublesome to look up par
ties who furnish saplings and undertake
the planting. Many never think of the
matter at the right time. Any one en-
| gagged in the business would obtain
