duced by ifc in Washington, especially in the magnificent 

 avenues just west of the Capitol. The sycamore does 

 not succeed north of Massachusetts and central New 

 York, but for the greater part of the United States it is 

 worth careful consideration. 



Other species which are sometimes used with happy 

 results are honey locust, Kentucky coffee tree, pines 

 and S2iruces. There is a most striking and beautiful 

 avenue of ginkgo trees in Washington leading to tlie 

 Department of Agriculture ; and there are some pretty 

 rows of aihmthus about the Temple square in Salt Lake 

 City. Occasionally one will find an avenue of oaks, and 

 if it is a good one tliere are few trees more satisfactory. 

 Poplars, especially the Cottonwood, are used in tlie trans- 

 Mississippi states, but tliey are usually a ])oor makeshift. 

 It is always very gratifying to find a good street of trees 

 of an unusual species, and this is a thing which the 

 street makers might well hold in remembrance.
