TREE CULTURE IN HOLLAND.
Elms on Canal Banks and Lindens
French Monarch Guarded.


There is perhaps no other we'll
populated country in the world which
has so many well wooded towns as
has Holland Most OF the streets and
grachts or canals have avenues of
trees. Utrecht has two rows of trees
on either side of Its quaint canals.
Its canal banks are constructed as if
In two stories. The lower story, al
most flush with the water level, is
| lined with warehouses and vaults,
while the upper story has dwellings,
and shops. Both levels are planted
with trees.
So many avenues OF trees make n
Dutch town exceedingly pleasant, es-
pecially on hot day. The foliage
tempers the glare of the sun and the
vistas OF green are refreshing to the
eye. These abundant growths in
thiclsly populated towns are highly
useful as well as ornamental. 1t is
recognized that from hygienc point
OF view they are valuable to the citi.
Zens.
In Holland these useful services
are gratefully recognized and the
trees are carefully tended by the
municipalities. The cost of this care
per capita in the different towns va
ries somewhat. Last year, for exars.
pie Utrecht devoted 2l cents (Dutchj
to its trees for each inhabltant and
The Hague 2S cents for each of it's
$4,000 citizens. 1t take 2h Dutch
cents to equal an American cent.
About ten years ago the annual cost
OF caring for the trees of The Hague
was 10 cents (Dutch) per capita. but
since that time many new trees and
shrubs have been planted throughout
the city and new parks have been laid
out
IL has been found that not every
kind OF tree will thrive In the streets
Oh a town, Tor trees have many en-
emies both above and below ground.
Gas escaping from pipes underground
is the worst enemy OF trees, because
quite small quantities of it are dead
ly. For this reason special precau
tions are taken against the leakage
OF gas in Dutch towns. How electric. |
lty escaping underground acts upon !
trees as yet has not been sufficiently |
studied to be understood. Trees will /
not grow in very narrow streets where !
the houses are high; neither will they
thrive IL the pavement does not let

The best trees for street planting

Copying the English Garden.

There is one good result of all this
invasion of English society by Ameri-

in the land of Shakespeare and the
suffragette is the characteristic Eng

who have wandered across the ATTAIN

adopted the English garden as their
own. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has set

her Newport nome. and Mrs. Harry
