SHADE TREES FOR STREETS 165 



although a passing whiff is delicious, might be an 

 annoyance if poured continuously into the windows 

 of houses during the blooming time. 



The Wild Cherry, with its quantity of early bloom, 

 would be a beautiful street tree, and in places where 

 trees of rather smaller growth are desired there is 

 the Bird Cherry and the Mountain Ash. The large 

 American Mountain Ash is a good street tree, in 

 autumn loaded with its handsome bunches of scarlet 

 fruit. 



The larger Willows are also charming trees for 

 streets. Many of the trees named, if their tops 

 spread too near the houses, may, with good effect, 

 be pollarded about 10 feet from the ground.
