BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CITY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

standpoint of the landscape gardner the naples are less desirable than the oaks and many object to tecduous trees, be- cause of their liability to injury by heavy winds. The wood of this group is brittle and the branches have an unfortunate habit of forking in such a fashio nthat a weak union results which when sub jected to heavy pressure from wind or ice gives way, causing wounds which produce conditions leading to early de- struction of the tree.
 To offset these unfortunate features, the maple as class are of rapid growth and symmetrical form, adapting them- selves to a great variety of conditions. The red maple is a water loving plant, but can be quite successfully grown on the upland.
 In autumn the most brilliant reds and yellows of our forests are produced by the naples.
 Ahe American Elm
 Among the most valuable deciduous trees, both for street and ornamental planting, may he mentioned the Ameri- can elm, which is hardy over wide range. grows rapidly, and forms one of the most graceful and beautiful shade trees native to our forests.
 The Ashes The ashes are of rapid growth and have clean foliage which gives them at- tractiye appearance. The one drawback | to the ash as a park tree is it's habit | of producing great quantities of seeds, 1 which in turn produce a crop of weedy seedlings upon the lawn. The Lindens The American as well as the European | lindens are useful lawn and park trees but do not long endure the privations of street life in cities. In the open their bread leaves, clean branches and fra ] grant blossoms render them of value for | lawn purposes. The extreme hardness of the linden extends its use to the north west In it's native habitat it is much ! prized as honey plant, and also for its timber, which is extensively used in the manufacture of light boxes and other re- ceptacles.

Trees which shed their foliage at the approach of cold weather must neces- sarily form large portion of the grosser demative material for plantations in the north temperate zone. Not only do such trees make up great portion of the in- digenoun growth of the region, but the deciduoud trees present a great range of size and form, as well as a great va riety of colors and leaf forms, features of the utmost importance in producing variety in landscape effects The colors which add so much beauty to the land scape during the autumn months appear only on deciduous trees and shrubs.
 The Oaks
 During youth the oak presents a sym metrical form, together with a variety of leaf forms, which renders them espe- cially attractive objects. The broad spreading, rugged habit characteristic of the white, red, rock and willow oaks produces a striking contrast with the numerous small sized dropping branches and pyramidal form of the pin oak. The leaves of the oak range in size from the massize broad leaves of the mossycuh oak, often 10 or 12 inches in length and { or inches in width. to the short, mar row of the willow oak.
 This group, which is interesting and valuable from an economic as well as an aesthetic standpoint, contains not only a variety of deciduous forms. but at the south offers in the live oak an ever green form which is among the most valuable of the shade trees for the sec tion which it is adapted.
 The Maple
 Next to the oaks as regards variety in form and beauty of autumn coloring stand the maple. This group. like the oak, presents dwarf, shrubbery forms as well as gigantic timber trees. From the
