WHAT TREES TO PLANT AND HOW 



125 



6. European linden 



(Tilia microphylla) 



6. American elm 



(Ulmus americana) 



7. Pin oak 



(Quercus palustris) 



8. Red maple 



(Acer rubrum) 



Beautiful shade-bearing 

 crown; is very responsive to 

 good soil and plenty of moist- 

 ure. 



When planted in rows along 

 an avenue, it forms a tall 

 majestic archway of great 

 beauty. It is best suited for 

 wide streets and should be 

 planted further apart than the 

 other trees listed above. Re- 

 quires a fairly good soil and 

 plenty of moisture, and is 

 therefore not suited for plant- 

 ing in the heart of a large 

 city. 



This tree exhibits its great- 

 est beauty when its branches 

 are allowed to droop fairly 

 low. It, moreover, needs 

 plenty of moisture to thrive 

 and the tree is therefore best 

 suited for streets in suburban 

 sections, where these condi- 

 tions can be more readily met. 



Beautiful in all seasons of 

 the year; requires a rich soil 

 and considerable moisture.
