 Al hest Il city Is an exceedingly poor Ioealion for tree culture Narrow streets, uilh taH buildings, exclude tue nfe giviD" sunlight: asphalt or closely paved, walks prevent the necessary moisture from sinking into the ground and nouriShinS thirsty roots, and leak age from the gas mains Is deadly poison tu all vegetation. For this req. son care should be exercised in the selection of the variety of trees for street planting in order to get the best 'SouitS' ," AAoii"Au liLnc udS ueluoH' strated that the elm and linden should be placed in the first rank. for there are many examples of these species in Dutch towns which have withstood the ravages of more than two cen turtles. The elm appears to be the hardier of these TWO trees and vii live under most adverse conditions.
 The Dutch municipalities expend large sums each year for the preserva, tion of their shade trees. but the re- suits amply justify the cost for main tenance.-Harpers Weekly.
