EANY people ask me what tree is
MI the best to plant for shade in
the city of FL Paso. The an
swer depends upon the location, or
rather, nature of the soil; whether
the tree is strictly for shade or more
for ornamental purposes; how much
care will be given It; whether a poor
tree of fast growth is preferred to a
permanent and better tree Of slower
growth
Or perhaps a very ornamental and
perfect shade tree may be preferred
that Is not strictly adapted to this eli
mate; a tree that is once established
would stand these extremes of tenn
perature, that may occur once in 10
years Or longer. II these extremes come
in the first two or three years after
planting the tree may be seriously put
back or killed outright
Many Trees Thrive Here.
Being situated as we are, midway be-
tween the temperate and semitropical
zone there are many trees suited to
both these zones that will succeed here
