THE TREE DOCTOR

shade trees in the little narrow border between the sidewalk and 

 the street. Where towns have grown into cities and the streets 

 have been covered with asphalt, it has almost invariably proved 

 fatal to the tree. There is but one hope of having good street 

 trees in cities and the larger towns, and that is by every state 

 passing enactments empowering such incorporated communities 

 to put all the trees on the streets under city municipal super- 

 vision, just the same as the sidewalks, and then place competent 

 men to care for such trees, and charge the costs to property 

 owners with the taxes, like paving a street, grading or laying a 

 sidewalk. It is useless to leave it to the individual, because 

 where one understands the management of a tree and would at- 

 tend to it, there are dozens who neither know nor care about the 

 matter. 



This subject is thoroughly discussed and illustrated in "A NEW 

 ERA IN TREE GROWING."
