ARBORICULTURE. 



An Object Lesson at Louisville. 



In passing through Louisville, Ky., 

 some time since, walking along Seventh 

 Street, between Chestnut anci Green, I 

 found upon one side of the block a row 

 of scrubby, deformed Catalpa hij^nioiii- 

 oidcs trees, which are seen pictured in 

 these pages ( No. i ) . 



Upon the north side of the street are 

 three trees of sl^eclosa, while in the 

 grounds near by are two others, fine, 

 large, straight, handsome Catalpa spc- 

 ciosa. 



There are the same kinds of trees, of 

 both species, in almost every city and 

 hamlet throughout the land, but seldom 

 in such a prominent location and in such 

 proximity as here, and the contrast here 

 is vtry marked. 



It is needless to say that seed of these 

 scrub trees will never grow and develop 

 into trees like these shown on, another 

 page (No. 2), nor would we expect the 

 reverse to occur.
