PLANTING Street Trees.

In laying out for street planting let
the first stakes be set at the street
crossings, says Park and Cemetery.
When the abutting streets also are to
be planted, place two stakes at each
corner about thirty feet from the point
of intersection of the curb line on each
street Then space off the intervening
distance, setting the stakes equally dis
tant apart, but not less than sixty-five
feet as the shortest distance. Street
trees generally are planted too closely
together. Sometimes this is done with
the intention of cutting out alternate
ones. as the growth of the trees re-
quires. This, however, is seldom done,
and the trees grow up too thickly,
thereby oyercrowding and injuring one
another, destroying all the individual
beauty of the trees and the symInet-
ricai arrangement which an avenue OF
trees should have.
