The Wild Cherry, with its quantity of early bloom,

 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.
