SHADE TREES ON EASTERN PARKWAY, BROOKLYN, N. Y. 

 On wide parkways and boulevards where there are special sections de- 

 voted to various kinds of traffic, it is possible to use rows of different species 

 of shade trees. In this case the trees in each row have been spaced uni- 

 formly with sufficient distance to develop normally.

A WIDE PLANTING STRIP BETWEEN CURBING AND SIDEWALK. 

 In towns and villages the width between property lines should be great 

 enough to allow ample room for the future widening of the roadway with- 

 out seriously encroaching on the tree planting area. These wide lawn 

 strips give a decidedly spacious effect to towns and villages. When the 

 bilildings are located at considerable distance back of the property line, 

 the trees should be planted three feet from the sidewalk toward the curb.
