Gust as Best Shade Trees.
In line with the recent plans for
city tree planting and the doing
away with the cotton nuisance from
the female cottonwood trees, which
are now being taken out by prop
erty owners, J. 7, Young, an expert
on tree growing, gave out the fol-
lowing interview:
New Mexico is somewhat limit
ed in the selection OF shade trees,
OF The few that actually can be
gotten to live here my choice lies
between the American elm and
black locust Where there is no
shade, | prefer the latter because
of its rapidly of growth. But
when both have reached the age of
fifteen years. | prefer the elm. But
as most people prefer quick shade
the black locust is usually chosen.
Hard naples (such as the sugar
naples will not grow here. They
usually die the first summer But
soft naples will, such as the box
elder. The box elder would be an
ideal tree for this locality if it
were not for the litta red bugs
that swarm about them during the
summer months. They are so
minute that they can go through
