A Surseryman's Views on Park Trees.
EDS. UNION: saw your invi-
tation to the public to express their opin-
ion in regard to tree planting in the Capt.
tol Park. AS my views on the subject
differ from those which have been pub
lished, l desire to submit them to con-
sideration.
The immediate surroundings of the
Capitol building have been kept strictly
in French style. Although somewhat
out of date, any further change must be
IN adherence to this style. There is evil
IDENTIFY a surplus OF large trees, and it
would improve this part Of the park by
taking away all the large pine trees
alongside the fencing, which are, anyway,
in discord with the rest. The planting OF
continual row of shade trees, whatever
they might be, alongside the street, as far
as the older part of the park is concerned,
would be mistake.
The narrow strip of lawn can be beau
tlfully decorar1d with smaller trees and
shrubs, OF which there is long list 10
choose from. For instance, the true
laurel (LdHrUS aobitlsl. if properly
trained by starting the heads at the
same hight and keeping then in the
same form by clever pruni mot
=
intervals would lie in the proper place.
The space between these trees would be
planted with standard roses with we'll
shaped heads. Clemats tied to sticks
would also be highly decorative.
However, it must be observed that
enough space be allowed to each plant.
Ii should only have the aim to interrupt
the monotony of the space, and leave the
building in better view to the streets.
In laying out the newer part OF tie
park an effort has been made to assume a
more modern style of gardening, but
there have been no rules observed. The
trees have been strewn over the place at
equal distances and aimlessly. Every
tree. shrub and evergreen, or any other
plant, cannot be shown to better advant-
age than when associated with its fellows
III groups. There should be no symmetry,
but harmony, in color and form.
cannot think OF anything grander or
more beautiful than Il large group Of
palms situated near the center of the
park so as to show Oft well from both
streets. The California fan palm lP,it-
c"drdt0 ftTerd) could be used as skele-
ton and the filling consist of the different
species of chamacrops and phoenix, also
century plants. dracHuas. yuucaS and
other similar eVergreens If right proper
toned. Every single plant snould have
enough room to develop to its full beauty,
winch WonId be greatly elevated by the
contrast Of harmony 10 lis comrades. as
the case may be. Surely such group
would be not only an attraction to the
park, but to the city.
Whatever is planted, it should be in re
lation to each other and the whole form
one harmonius picture. There should be
long stretches of lawn, uninterrupted, 10
contrast with the shrubbery, which
would also tend to make the park appear
u La
park, on the streets, seeding oranges
would be the most adaptable, which
should, however, be planted at good dis
tances so as not to touch each other for
many years to come.

Charles Price, charged with battery,
had yesterdays session of the Police
Court devoted entirely to his case, and it
was soon disposed OF.
Thomas Forbes, a baggagemaster at the
depot, testified that Price applied for a
bundle which he claimed as his. but for
which he had no check, having, as he
claimed, lost it.
Forbes required the man to identity his
bundle and deposit fifty cents for the lost
check until it should be returned.
Price insisted upon taking his bundle
and jumped upon Forbes, throwing him
down and continuing his assault until
officers interfered and placed him under
arrest.
In court Price made a rambling and
confused statement, saying he was sick
and that he wanted his bundle, but had
lost the check.
Judge Cravens found him guilty, de-
ferring judgment until to-day.
