CAROLINA POPLARS BORDERING A FACTORY. 

 Where a special shade tree department is in operation in 

 a city it is possible to plant a special kind of tree and 'to 

 afford the proper attention in pruning and protecting so 

 that trees may be had even near factory districts where 

 gases and smoke fill the air. In these locations and under 

 these circumstances the Carolina Poplar is used with suc- 

 cess. This is one of the special cases where the Poplar 

 may be selected for street planting.
