The AIIanthus the Best OF Trees to Plant.
From the Garden and Foren


writer In a recent issue OF the Rural
Ne,D Yorker calls attention to the beauty and
value OF the much abused ailanthus tree for
planting In city streets. 1t Is indeed one OF tho
best trees that has ever been tried for this pur-
pose. either In this country or in Europe. and
no exotic tree with the exception. perhaps. Of
tho white willow. has yet shown such capacity
for adapting itself to the peculiarities OF tho
American climate.
The only possible objection to the ailanthus
is that the flowers OF the male plants have an
exceedingly disagreeable odor to some people.
and that the pollen is supposed to produce
catarrhal troubles But. as the writer In tho
Rural Ne'r Yorker points out. this objection can
be very readily obviated by raising plants from
