YOUNG TREES ON CITY STREETS
ABOUT 1900 sAPL1NGs TO BE
PLANTED.
Some in New Places, But Most OF
Them to Replace Old Oaks
and Elms.

About 100 new trees will he planted
along the streets of the National Capital
during the present fall. The work was
begun several weeks ago, and will he con
tinued until the weather becomes uh1a-
vorable The holes for over 1.312 OF these
trees have already been dug.
Several rows Of Gins or oaks arc to ne
planted in places which have long been
bare, and among the early projects To be
finished will be the planting of score
or more Of red oaks along Pennsylvania
avenue in front OF the State War and
Navy and the Treasury buildings. For
years this section has been like the Sa-
hara desert no trees affording shade from
the broiling sun I'm the days of July and
August or breaking the force of the win
try blasts in January and February. A
few months ago the suggestion was made
to the Commissioners that trees should
be planted I'm front of the two handsome
federal department buildings; and the
District heads Immediately gave their
appreciation of the plan.
Another stretch of street In front of a
federal building to be embellished by
trees is that part of LIST street between e
and G streets in front of the new House
of Representatives Office building. Thir-
teen elms are to be planted to relieve the
barrenness of that stretch of thorough
fare.
Mainly to Replace Old Trees.
There are no big projects of tree plant
ing on the schedules for this fall, &C
oording to the announcements from the
District building. Most of the 1,JOO sap
lings will replace old trees which have
died from disease OF old age, and will
be designed TO keep the rows of foliage
that line WashingtOn's streets continuous
South Capitol street. however. will re-
ceive special attention this fall: and the
plans call for the planting of fifty-eight
slns on that thoroughfare between Vir-
Einia avenue and y street. On Reservoir
street between I'D and 3Jth streets IL is
planned to plant thirtythree Norway
maple Saplings. Park road between 18th
and 10Th streets will also receive special
consideration, eighteen elms to be placed
there. Kearney street between 18th and
18th streets northeast also will be en-
bellished this fall, but the kind of tree
has not yet been determined.
The trees to be planted in the various
parts of the city will be of many vari-
cites, and each has been selected with
special reference TO its surroundings. The
red oaks have been chosen for Pennsyl-
vania avenue between 18th and It'll
streets because of their great beauty and
hardness.
