Pruning Directions.
At planting time the tree should be
so pruned as to remove half to three
fourths of the leaf buds. Specific direc-
tions with regard to pruning are diff
cult. because different species of trees
differ materially in the character Of
their growth. In addition to pruning

size Of the tree. Unless this soil is
damp. water should he applied imme,li

Care Of Street Trees.
Water. of course. is one of the
great needs of city trees. as the
ground is frequently covered with
water-tight paving. Street trees are
subject to attacks by insects and Sev-
eral varieties have their destructive
enemies and diseases. Hence. every
municipality needs the services Of Il
trained man, who is provided with an
efficient spraying outfit. 1t is eSti-
mated that % per cent Of the attack

points brought out:
Providing shade on city streets is
municipal function. Probably the
most satisfactory supervision is through
IN unpaid commission of three or five
members appointed to long terms
Funds may be provided by appropria-
ton from the general tax fund or by
direct assessment against the property
owners. 1t is probably best to assess
the cost Of tree planting against prop
erty owners on frontage basis. while
maintenance may be provided out of
general funds.
An almost universal fault is to plant
trees too near together. A common
practice is to set street trees 81 feet
apart. If public opinion will permit
the removal of One-half of the trees
ut the proper time, this Is good ar
| rangement. In general. better rule
for the eastern half of the United
States and on the Pacific coast is to set
trees 80 feet apart in the case Of most
varieties. For larger-growing trees.
GO to 20 feet is even better.
Some of the more obvious obstacles
with which city tree has to contend
are water-tight pavements. the removal
Of top soil in street paving. careless
digging for public service utilities,
saturation Of the soil with gas from
defective pipes, the pouring of salt
water from ice cream freezers into
cutters. the gnawing of trunks by
horses and the slashing Of tops by line
men and tree trimmers. A common
mistake in young. growing cities is to
provide wider street pavements than
is likely ever to be needed. BY re,luc-
ing the roadway and making the re-
mainder into parking spaces. much is
added to the attractiveness and com
fort Of the city.
Desirable Trees
The number of kinds of trees suitable
for street planting is comparatively
small. A street tree must have fairly
abundant foliage that will withstand

easily affected by unusual soil condi-
lions. by restricted feeding areas. or

digging. The tops should he i'm pro,

planted with spreading trees. AS q
