At the Jacob Muller residence there
is the finest line of trees in this city
They are the white maple. The trees
are as healthy as could be asked for
and are clearly. They make rapid
growth and when once they get
foothold, seem to be exceedingly har-
dy. That the maple has not been cul-
tivated is to be wondered at, as they
offer the best of shade and are ex-
tremely ornamental.
The Catalpa is another fine tree.
They are exceedingly hard to start.

that with patience they will respond

grown, and where there are bees 1t
offers the finest product for honey.
The trouble with the tree planting
In this section has been that the peo-
pie have planted just what they knew
would grow and no experiments were
made with trees of more value The
finest trees that Carson can now
boast Of are the cottonwoods, as thes
are the hardest, and withall, the most
serviceable, yet with some patience
and q little experimenting, more or
namental and more profitable trees
could be planted where the cottonwood
holds sway.

Of the State, and rightfully SO, but il
could be made more so, as the sol
yields growth to many varieties 81

done in the Capitol grounds and b,

very fine varieties being started. Thi

to plant every vacant place in thi
city with trees, for every one that i
