Plate XXIX. An open allee 12 feet wide and 800 feet long, developed 

 by the use of white birch planted 3 to 4 feet apart in each row. For a per- 

 manent allee of this type the birch is not ideal because of us short-lived 

 characteristics and susceptibility to borer. Thorns, or the European beech, 

 would be preferable. (See page 147, group XVI-D-b-l)
