A DELICATE OPERATION.
The TranspInntIng Of big Trees
Into Systematic Avenues at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair Site.

st. Louis, Feb. 3.-The work of
transplanting the trees at Forest
park, in order to save those that in
terfere with the construction Of the
Worlds fair buildings, is being sys-
tematically undertaken by corps OF
experts. The ground has been gone
over by d, w. c. Perry, Of Kansas.
City's park board, assistant to George
E. Kessler, landscape architect for
the exposition. Mr.. Perry served in
the laying out of Prospect park, in
Brooklyn, and Kansas City's park
and boulevard system, He will be as
sisted in the work here by ]. II. Da-
Wis, engineer, and j. e. Lohmeyer,
assistant engineer.
v4he party marked the trees to be
removed placarding them in such a
way that worlmen, coming later, will
know just what position each Of the
trees is to occupy along the avenues
of the exposition. In the main ave-
nue. there are to be four rows OF
trees planted to form two arcades.
The first row is to be 1171s feet FROM
the exhibit buildings; the second row
q feet from the first; the third, 81
feet from the second, and the fourth
q feet from the third. This Cccu
pies the entire 600 feet Of the ave-
nue's width. This arrangement will
make the arcades formed by the
trees q feet wide, and the branches
of the trees will meet overhead form
ing a dense shade. On each of the
side avenues there are to be two
rows of trees 1856 feet apart, with GO
feet between the trees. Up to the
present only naples of large size are
being marked for transplantng, Mr..
Perry talked entertainingly If his
work Saturday:
"The work of locating the trees is
one requiring considerable care said
he. ave must judge from the appear
ance of the tree, its habit Of growth
and the density of foliage. We must
locate it from these qualities to fill
lis place properly in the composition
The contractor who will transplant
the trees will begin his work prob.
ably next week II will not be
enough for him to set the trees in
holes in the location where the
stakes are driven. lie must carefully
observe the grade to be finally used
on the spot
I've are now dealing entirely with
# maple trees. We shall, however.
Rave to do with others, such as Clms
and tulip trees. We also expect to
transplant a number of cedars, which
now form groves on the site of the
big buildings These trees will have
to be planted in the place where
they will be finally. A number Of
small poplars and cottonwood trees
are on the site, and these will be put
in a nursery until their final loca
ton can be definitely fixed, but the
cedars will not bear transplanting
