A City of Gardens and Trees.
rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.


"Reminiscences and a measure of hone
are combined in the suggestion of one
of the women entered in the Plain
Dealer vacant lot and home gardening
movement "It is grand idea," she
writes, ito get Cleveland back to what
it was when 1 remember it f1rst-the
forest and garden city Of the state"
Many memories span the same stretch
of Cleveland history, and many resi-
dents are welcoming the opportunity
to do their share in restoring, as far
as practica BILE, the conditions that eX-
listed half a century ago. Mich of
the change wrought in this period CAN
not now be remedied; yet a good deal
can be done in the direction Indicated
An industrial city, growing by leaps
and bounds, cannot expect to retain all
the sylvan beauty of it's younger days.
Shade trees are poisoned by elements
in the atmosphere that should not have
escaped the chimneys, and by poisons
in the soil that should have been con-
fined to pipes. Tillabfe vacant lots be-
come fewer in number and the old
give way to other, less picturesque
devices.
Yet the city really needs this COM
panionship of cultivated trees and
gardens more than the village did, for
the country moves ever further afield,
and the more highly organized urban
life becomes the greater is the need of
such relaxation as home gardens af-
ford.
