turaI Society. March 18th, 1880, by
Robert MiIliI1en.
Inquiry has been made for the list OF
trees presented for the consideration of
the members of the society, at the meet
ing February 18th, only the leading ones
of which were named in the report by
the secretary, made through the En-
pOria NEWS. The trees were named in
the order of their preference for street
planting, giving LIST, native deciduous,
I'd, imported do, and Sd, evergreens.
OF the first, native in the county, are the
white elm, greenash, honey locust, cot
tonwood, black walnut, coffee bean,
red bud, rcd mulberry, blackberry, the
oaks in variety, hickories, do, including
the pecan, which grows in abundance
on the rivers in the eastern part of the
county, the sycamore, willows and
the linden or Eastwood.
OF trees not Indigenous to the county
are the Catalpa, Big Notwithstanding
spiciasu, and not the Georgia variety
which is the Catalpa of the nurseries.
Deciduous Cypress, OF Southern Swamp
Cypress, and the LOmbardy and Silver
Leaf poplars.
The Cypress has been put to very Sc
we're tests, and has so far given evidence
of great value for lawn and shade pur-
poses, withstanding the vicissitudes of
the weather and grasshoppcrs much bet
t,ar 4
and there is no more handsome tree,
with its leslhery delicate foliage and
pyramidal form.
The poplars are Objectionable on ac-
count of their sOftness of wood and liza
bility to attack by large borer, render
ing them short lived, and are only to De
recommended as filters to give shelter
to the hardy and slower growing varities
of trees which should be depended on
for the permanent ones.
The foregoing are not all good for
street trees but may be so used, but
would not advise setting Cypress, Lin
den and Box Elder for this purpose
The evergreens succeeding in this part
of Kansas, so far as demonstrated by a
sufficient number of examples, may be
counted on the fingers Of one hand.
They are red cedar the "Ironclad," and

Older than the grasshopper raid of 1874,

ley's addition to Emporia.
There are several others of the juniper
family besides the red cedar, as Savri
trailing jumpers, Swedish and Irish ju-
nipers, which have been sparingly plant
ed and are giving promise of success.
Also Corsican pine, very handsome
tree, and the dwarf Mugho pine, very
dwarf, are doing well as far as tested.
There are other trees of an ornamental
character which have not been largely
set, but which will without doubt do
well. would mention sugar maple,
sassafras, butternut, the double flower
ing peaches, apples and cherries, the
wild cherry and the hOrsechestnut in
several varieties. There are no doubt
others that will do well, and people
should test such as come under their OBJ
servation and within their range. .
