The Florists' Review 



itAX 25, 1922 



cept the Lombardy poplar, most varieties 

 of poplar are not recommended. 



The bulletin, whieli is !ivailal)lo upon 

 application to the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, contains a re- 

 gional map of the United States and in- 

 dicates which trees flourish best under 

 the climatic conditions of each region. 



Before ornamental tree planting for 

 town or city streets is undertaken, a 

 number of important points must be 

 given Jittention. Trees native to one 

 part of the United States may not 

 thrive in another region. Some trees 

 arc objectionable because their roots 

 penetr.'ite defective sewers, while others 

 grow their roots so near the surface that 

 they h.'ive a tendency to heave or crack 

 sidewalks. 



Only vigorous trees that will with- 

 stand the dust and smoke of a city 

 should be planted to ornament the 

 streets. The root system should be 

 hardy, not easily affected l)y unusual 

 soil conditions, Ijy restricted feeding 

 areas, or by root i)runing in case street 

 improvements arc made. The shape of 

 the top of the tree when full-grown 

 should be suited to the width of the 

 street. The foliage should not be too 

 dense and should l)e of a pleasing tex- 

 ture and color. The resistance of the 

 tree to fungi, insect posts and tree dis- 

 eases is an important consideration. 

 Trees that bear showy flowers, fruits 

 or nuts are usually undesirable for street 

 ])lanting. 



Palms do not make good shade trees, 

 although they arc effective in formal 

 planting. Only in the most southern 

 parts of the country and in western 

 California should evergreen trees be 

 considered for street planting. Mag- 

 nolias, live oaks and a few other broad- 

 leaved evergreens may be used in these 

 regions. "Where there is lack of sun- 

 shine in winter it is desirable to ;idmit 

 all the light possible by using only de- 

 ciduous trees. The bulletin gives a table 

 siiowing the differences in f.all coloring 

 .•iiid the date of dropping of all foliage. 

 X.arrow streets, it is pointed out, shoiild 

 be planted with tall, slender trees like 

 the Ijombardy poplar or small trees. 

 Broad streets may be pl.'inted with 

 s|)reading trees. As a rule, native trees 

 that have been tried out successfully in 

 other towns of the same general locality 

 should be given the preference.
