SOCIETY IN PLEA
FOR SHADE TREES
Horticultural Group Urges
Commissioners to Halt
Needless Losses.

A plea that all practicable measures
be taken for the protection and pres
ervation of Washington's shade trees
was made to the District Commission
ers today by the advisory committee
on natural features and Of the public
parks Of the American horticultural
Society.
The committees appeal, transmitted
by F.. l.. milford, acting chairman.
was based on it's action at recent
meeting, at which the condition of the
shade trees and kindred subjects were
discussed. The committee, according
to Mr.. milford, reached these conclu.
sions:
THAT some STRENGTHENING opera
lions which have resulted in the de-
struction of valuable trees have been
of little benefit to traffic beyond the
provision al public expense of parking
space for a few additional automo-
biles.
Trees Should BE Considered.
"That when street widening be-
comes necessary special consideration
should be given to the practicability
of saving existing trees, or, il this
is impossible, to their prompt replace
ment. For instance, in the widening
Of Connecticut avenue, every other
tree might have been left in an island
In the pavement, thus affording park
ing space adjacent to the curb with
out destroying all the trees. Salts
factory results along these lines have
been secured on New York avenue.
THAT there are many street trees
Of undesirable types-notably silver
naples and cotton woods-elminatlon
and replacement Of which are desira-
BILE by other species, such as req OAK
and American elm.
THAT excavation for service lines
should be confined to the street side
of the trees and excavation on the
sidewalk side entirely prohibited, In
order to insure undisutrbed root
growth on at least one side OF the
trees.
Care by WOrkmen Urged.
THAT careful supervision should be
exercised over foremen and workmen
engaged in street and sidewalk eXca-
walton and in the laying OF water
pipes and electric conducts to insure
all possible protection to tree roots
during such operations.
That the amount of excavation In
the streets appears to be excessive.
and that perhaps some system might
he evolved whereby the necessary
subterra mean installations could be
accomplished with less disturbance of
the soil and consequent injury to tree
roots"
Mr.. milford explained that the com
mittee also discussed the effect OF i'm.
pervious pavements on the growth OF
street trees, but concluded that too
little time had elapsed for any pro.
nounced effect to become apparent.
He further reported the committee
decided that there Is at present no
danger to vegetation in Washington
from the effects Of smoke from heat.

APPLE BLOSSOMS

Written and Contributed BY Miss Hannah
Wallace. Grade sB Smyrna Special Schools
just after the winter
Comes the spring Of the year
When beautiful sweet
Apple blossoms appear.
First they cover the trees
With their snow-like flake
Then down To the ground
Their way they make.
When atlast on the earth
Their colors they blend
We know that the blossoms
Soon will end.
Even after the blossoms
Have faded away
We find the promise
Of a still happier day.
For instead Of q blossom
We see small sphere
From which we'll get apples
In the fall of the year.
Then with watering mouths
And spirits high
We await the making
OF a good apple pic.
