ORIENTAL SYCAMORES ON VANDERBILT AvE., STATEN ISLAND. 



These trees have been planted about twenty years. They require very little attention either in the 

 matter of pruning or the attacks of the serious pests that prey on many shade trees. Aside from 

 the well distributed foliage displayed during the summer months which makes the tree desirable for 

 shade purposes is the striking appearance presented by the tree during the winter with its white 

 bark and its pendulous ball-shaped fruit.

BROAD STREET, STAPLETON, STATEN ISLAND. 



An example of a semi-business street where few trees have been planted, but where there is a great 

 opportunity for planting trees. Streets with such a width as illustrated in this photograph offer 

 opportunities for planting trees at a small expenditure of money or labor.
