SUGGESTION FOR MEMORIAL PLANTING OF 

 TREES IN PARKS AND OTHER PLACES 



Submitted by Mr. C. Dolph, President, Metal Shingle and Siding Ct., 

 Preston, Ontario. 



To take the form of a Cross or Church. Inner row of trees to be planted so that in course 

 of time they will form cathedral effect. Inside row, possibly elms. 



Outside row of trees may differ from inside row, possibly pine or any evergreen. 



Inner space to be nicely levelled and seeded. Space between rows of trees to be kept as a 

 walk with seats here and there. 



Rough stone monument in centre with names of fallen heroes, or possibly all enlistments 

 in smaller towns. 



Surroundings may be planted with clumps of evergreens, shrubs, beds, etc., as circum- j 

 stances may warrant. 



Committee to select location and procure trees through park board, but patriotic citizens 

 to pay for a tree and help plant it and mark it as their own.
