TREES TO BEAUTIFY DALLAS, 

 TEXAS 

 A DEFINITE movement for the beauti- 

 fication of Dallas, Texas, through the 

 planting of trees, shrubs and flowers has 

 been instituted by the Tree, Shrub and 

 Flower Planting Committee of the Metro- 

 politan Development Association of that 

 city. The remarkable opportunities which 

 present themselves to property owners for 

 the beautification of their streets and the 

 enhancement of property values have been 

 stressed at meetings of this committee. 

 It is expected that the movement will be- 

 come city-wide, and that within a short 

 time property owners will be joining with 

 each other in a systematic effort to increase 

 the attractiveness of their particular sec- 

 tions of the city. 



How quick results may be obtained, with 



a small expenditure of money, have been 

 1 atedry stressed by Alfred MacDonald, 

 city forester, who has announced that one of 

 the 1920 aims of the City Forestry De- 

 partment will be the creation of a munici- 

 pal nursery where trees can be grown, to 

 be transplanted later to the streets of the 

 city. 



"In order to insure better tree planting 

 in Dallas," says Mr. MacDonald. "the City 

 Forestry Department is arranging for the 

 planting of shade trees at cost for property 

 owners who desire them. When the For- 

 estry Department plants such trees we give 

 them special care, without further expense 

 to the property owners, for a period of 

 two years. The cost of such work is $2.50 

 for each tree planted. The department 

 prunes, trims and cuts all trees in the 

 parking spaces and within the limits of 

 the highway without expense to the owner 

 of the property. 



"Trees growing naturally in the forest 

 are protected from winds and storms by 

 other trees ; they are protected from insect 

 attacks by birds and natural enemies of 

 insects. But trees on a city street have 

 none of this protection. Their roots suffer 

 from lack of moisture which cannot pene- 

 trate the hard pavements surrounding their 

 trunks. Insects feed upon them without 

 interruption, and trees on a city "street are 

 at the mercy of the elements. So it is 

 that of probably more than 200 kinds of 

 trees which grow in this section only a 

 comparatively few are adapted to planting 

 in a city. 



"Among the best trees for street planting 

 are American elm, sycamore, hackbeny. 

 black locust, honey locust and pin oak. 



"Cottonwood, box elder and ash should 

 not be planted in Dallas, and especially 

 should not be planted on a city street be- 

 cause of their susceptibility to insect 

 attack. 



"There are probably 30,000 trees on the 

 streets of Dallas and there should be 

 150,000. Ten thousand trees a year should 

 be planted in the city. If intelligent tree 

 planting can be promoted, and if we can 

 have sufficient funds to give the shade 

 trees the care they need, we can in a few 

 years make the street of Dallas cool, 

 leafy tunnels arched by living walls." 



ANESTHETICS FOR TREES 



THE theory that trees should be treated 

 with anesthetics to enable them to 

 withstand the shock of transplanting has 

 been advanced by Sir Jagadish Chandra 

 Bose, an Indian scientist, says an Asso- 

 ciated Press dispatch from London. Sir 

 Jagadish showed photographs of larsjc 

 trees which he had successfully trans- 

 planted in Calcutta in spite of their age. 

 Realizing, he explained, that the difficulty 

 of successful transplantation lay in the 

 shock of removal, and that nerve effects in 

 plants and animals were on similar lines, 

 he treated these trees with anesthetics and 

 they bore the uprooting and removal well.
