and red cedar. For cemeteries, weeping birch, and wil- 

 low, arbor vitse, Irish juniper, etc. Pecan, horse chestnut, 

 and hickory can be grown best from seed planted where 

 they are to stand ; paw-paw and persimmon may be 

 grown where they can be well cared for.

NORTH CENTRAL. In central Illinois for large parks, 

 and other places of broad extent, the following would be 

 very suitable : American white elm, black walnut, oaks in 

 variety, white and yellow willows, American linden, white 

 ash, cucumber, magnolia, and sugar maple. For smaller 

 places, add to the four last named, tulip tree, box elder, 

 white birch, and catalpa. For street planting we prefer 

 the smaller round-headed trees such as sugar maple, box 

 elder, white ash, etc. For door-yards and small lawns, 

 give us more shrubs and less trees, more sunshine and 

 less shadow, more beautiful green grass, and brightening 

 flowers. For shrubs, the following are all beautiful and 

 appropriate, generally hardy and free bloomers : Altheas, 

 cornelian cherry, dwarf almond, deutzia, dogwood, euony- 

 mus, flowering currants, honeysuckles, hydrangea, Japan 

 quince, and roses of the different kinds in variety.
