Fraxinus velutina, "Arizona Ash." Grows fast and very symmetrical in 

 shape, with branches gracefully drooping, and it has the great merit of growing 

 well in alkaline soil where hardly any other tree will do. Grows up to sixty feet 

 or more. Should be planted thirty to forty feet apart. 



Cedrela fissilis, (Figure 82), Paraguay and Brazil, "Brazilian cedar wood." 

 For avenues where not much shade is required this is sure to be a first class 

 deciduous tree, its trunk rising up straight to a considerable height without branch- 

 ing, the branches never very heavy and forming a symmetrical head. Finest 

 specimen to be seen in my old garden on State street in Santa Barbara which I 

 planted in 1897, and must be now about sixty feet high. Timber is also very 

 valuable, much like "Cuban" or "Spanish Cedar," Cedrela odorata. Should be 

 planted thirty to forty feet apart.
