NORWAY MAPLES ix NEWBURGH, N. Y., SIXTEEN YEARS AFTER PLANTING. 

 These Norway Maples were planted in Newburgh by the Public Park 

 Commission. Throughout the State there is no tree being used so exten- 

 sively by park commissions for street planting as the Norway Maple. It 

 is extremely easy to transplant and is reliable in its growth. The uniform 

 development of these trees, planted by the municipality as a public im- 

 provement, shows the results that may be obtained through public control 

 of shade tree planting and preservation.

YOUNG NORWAY MAPLES IN NEW YORK CITY. 



The Norway Maple seems'to have the endurance to withstand the con- 

 ditions adverse to successful growth in streets such as are found in New 

 jYork City, where pavements completely cover the soil. With timely at- 

 tention the -Norway Maple will thrive in surroundings similar to those 

 shown in the illustration when care is used to prepare the soil preliminary 

 to planting.
