TREES FOR SHADE.

Varieties Adapted for Planting Along run

II Is rs essential to use only such as
IRE adapted for creating desired eff
.ects, rs to choose fruit trees best
'uited to our particular location. The
lending Of fruit and shade trees on
ombine utility and ornament. What
: needed for an avenue is shade, pleas
ng outline and color. Hardness is
ESSENTIAL, OF course. and freedom from
curious insects and destructive dis
eases The tendency to form an open
OPP or bullying base. as in the silve"
maple. is an obvious objection. Again.
there are trees, such as Norway maple
which show decided inclination to
troop with age; and no species or va
fiety with dropping habit should be
employed for any street or avenue. As
rule, large foliage is preferable to
small, as the former shows tendency
to cast denser shade and creates
more pleasing effect when in long lines.
Rapidity of growth is important to
avenue trees, although not indispensa-
bic. Trees which develop quickly are
apt to be open in construction, and
therefore need the pruner's art to as
sst in forming more compact head.
American linden. silvcr-leaf maple,
Carolina poplar so-called), salisbura,
etc, are examples Of this class. On
the other hand, such medium growers
as sugar maple, the beeches. oaks, and
some others, do not require cutting
back to produce density, but only an
occasional nipping of some too .vigor-
Gus branch.
For long line of trees in an en-
closed area, two distinct species may
be used, but in such cases it may be
we'll to select those affording a decided
contrast in form and color. This.
however. is dangerous ground, and
should be well considered before select
ing the kinds. Norway naples and
hemlock spruces arranged alternately
will prove very attractive; or purple
beech and sugar naples contrast well.
The large-leaved trees. such as mag
uolias, work in we'll with the elms; and
such conical forms as Nordmann's fir
or Oriental spruce answer to plant with
round-headed species like horsechest-
nuts. Still, it is questionable whether
more than one species planted together
will give entire satisfaction: perhaps
the majority of land scape gardeners
would decide against the combination
The general idea of an avenue is uni
formity. and any thing that detracts
from this is detrimental to the effect
no matter whether it be size, form,
color, or growth. No better evidence
Vt careful selection can be advanced
than most town streets afford where
the owners have very different ideas of
fitness. For the public highway a good
selection would be American and silver
leaved lindens; sugar maple; white,
swamp-white, willow, scarlet aud red
oak; Carolina poplar; Oriental sycamore
and American elm. Josiah Hopes, in
N. Y. Tribune.

is of the best flexbility and toughness.
The cheap broom corn is of sickly

who use only the green splints assert
that the manufacturers OF the yellow
splints give them a green bath, and
that the coloring matter has Paris
