B. Trees Which Should Be Selected With a Thorough 

 Knowledge of the Conditions Under Which They Are to Be 

 Used. Before trees in this group are used, descriptive information 

 of these types should be consulted in order to know that the soil 

 conditions, exposure, climate, and width of streets are such that these 

 trees will meet the requirements and develop a normal growth.

C. Trees Which Should Seldom Be Used on Streets. Many 

 trees are selected for street planting, either because they are the easiest 

 trees to grow or the tree which can be obtained with the least difficulty 

 and expense. Such trees are a future liability to the community and 

 they should never be planted except for some important reason, such 

 as the impossibility of obtaining other types. They are adapted to 

 specimen use rather than to street use.
