10 SHADE TREES. 



PLATE I. 



SHADE TREES GOOD AND BAD IN ONE NEW JERSEY CITY. 



A. Extreme Neglect ; the Pole Looks Better Than the Tree. 



B. No Tree can Thrive Where the Pavement is so Close. 



C. A Street Tree that is Bad in Every Way : It Forks too low 

 and has no growing space. 



D. A Worse than Useless Guard. It is too low to prevent horse- 

 biting, and so small that the tree is choked. 



E. A Newly-planted Tree Protected by a Guard that is Entirely 

 too Light, and with no Growing Space. 



F. A Guard Outgrown and Sidewalk Displaced by Root Growth. 



G. A Good Temporary Guard, but too Light to last Long. Grow- 

 ing space much too small. 



H. A Good Guard but Evidently not Placed Until After the 



Tree had been Badly Injured by Horses. Growing space en- 

 tirely too small. 



I. A Tree Well Guarded and Well Provided with Growing 



Space. 



J. A Thriving Street Tree. It has a fair growing space and is 



sufficiently guarded with wire. 



K. A Growing Space like that Provided for this Tree Interferes 



Little with the Footway.
