What Shade Trees TO Plant.

There is great satisfaction in know
ing what selection of shade trees those
who are competent to judge would make
for road or lawn planting. just such in
formation is now before the public, and
it will prove of very great value to those
who intend to beautify their road-sides
or private grounds. The Park Commits
sion of Washington, ID. c., composed OF
three men of high standing in horticultu-
raj circles, have planted miles of street
trees, numbering about forty thousand.
The bulk of these are made up of twelve
varieties, and are named herewith i'll the
order IN which the commission valued
them for the purpose: White maple,
American linden, American elm, scarlet
maple, box elder, sugar maple, American
white ash, English Sycamore, button-
ball, turlip-tree, honey locust, Norway
maple.
This is an excellent assortment to select
from for road side planting. Each va
riety here named when full grown assu,
mes handsome proportions, and most OF
them have brilliant and attractive tollage
in the fall. In planting shade trees along
the roadside, especially in a clayey coun-
try, they should be set at least fifty feet
apart, for if closer there will be too much
shade, and bad, wet roads in spring are
sure to follow. This close planting. should
ALWAYS be strenuously av oided in decorat-
ing private grounds. Any, system that
excludes the free access of sun and air
from the dwelling-house is pernicious.
Go wherever one may he will find this
faulty system of close planting in vogue,
and in eight cases out of ten there are
two tree or shrubs on space where one
would have been enough. The plea for
this is a desire for immediate effect. The
remedy is to cut tdownintimee every other
tree. The last is seldom, if ever carried
out.-Scribner for april
