PLANT OUT SHADE TREES.
Time for the Work-List of Trees Now In
Sacramento Nurseries.

Sacrdment0 Surserles.
There is already an active movement in
planting shade trees along streets in this
city and upon roads leading into the coun-
try, but the work needs to be taken up
more generally and Systematically, until
all vacant blocks of land and treeless streets
are set out in some desirable kind of shade
and ornamental trees. 1t will not only
add tenfold to the appearance of the city,
but it has also been determined by the
highest medical authority that trees are
promotiye of health in their effect upon
earth and atmosphere.
Those who have lots, the fronts of which
are not planted TO trees, will find beyond
question, that the tritiing cost and trouble
of setting out and caring for such varieties
as may be selected, will be repaid more
than twenty-fold, in the increased value
that will be effected thereby, to the value of
the property In addition to this, the cool
ing effect upon the atmosphere in summer,
and the attractiveness it lends TO The city's
appearance, should stimulate every real
estate owner, not only TO do his duty in
planting upon his own premises, but also
to urge his neighbor to do likewise and
without delay. To aid in selecting trees,
and giving Information where the varieties
that may be desired can be found, requests
were made yesterday by the RECORD UNION
of the proprietors of the various nurseries
in Sacramento, Tor lists Of the varieties Of
evergreen and deciduous shade trees which
they have in stock for planting. The follow
ing lists have been furnished and are
