The variety coerulea is the one most 

 suited, I think, for street planting. It 

 is not particular as to soil, and, if a 

 little care is given to the training up of 

 a leader, it forms a handsome tree. The 

 willow does not lend itselt to neat and 

 precise or formal work. Its value as a 

 street tree lies in its auaptability to 

 adverse conditions, its early budding 

 forth in spring, and in its holding its 

 bright-shining green leaves until late in 

 the fall. 



The tulip tree (Liriodendron tulip- 

 if era) is another good tree for suburban 

 and wayside planting. It is impatient 

 of restraint or hard usage; but, under 

 proper conditions, it is one of the finest 

 trees of the forest. 



The Sturdy Oaks. 



The red oak (Quercus rubra) and the 

 scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) are both 

 grand shade trees for the streets in 

 suburban districts, or for the wayside. 

 The prevalent notion has been that these 

 trees are of slow growth, which accounts 

 for their not having been used for street 

 planting. This idea is erroneous, 

 especially as regards the red oak, which 

 I think will outstrip a bard maple in 

 growth. On the Boston parkways, the 

 red oak has been extensively planted 

 for shade. The growth, since the trees 

 became established, has averaged two 

 feet each season, and in some of them a 

 growth of from four to six feet has been 

 made in one season. The oak will not 

 thrive under paved street and sidewalk 

 conditions, but no better trees can be 

 planted for roadsides, or even for

suburban streets, than the red and scar- 

 let oaks. 



The pin oak (Quercus palustris). 

 This oak is a very graceful tree in its 

 young state. Its lower branches drop 

 with a curved sweep to the ground, con- 

 sequently it should be planted only in 

 such positions as will allow the lower 

 branches to be retained. As a street 

 tree in ordinary locations this cannot 

 be done, and the most beautiful feature 

 of the tree is thus lost. Without its 

 lower branches, this oak is much inferior 

 in appearance to the red or scarlet oak. 

 It loves moisture, however, and may be 

 utilized on low grounds. 



Gu-e Needed in Planticc;. 



The planting of street trees requires 

 as much care as does their selection. It 

 is not enough to merely dig a hole and 

 crowd the roots into it. Any expecta- 

 tions based on such planting are doomed 

 to end in disappointment. In laying out 

 for street planting, let the first stakes 

 be set at the street crossings. When 

 the abutting streets also are to be 

 jpManted, place two stakes at each corner, 

 •about thirty feet from the point of in-

tersection of the curb line, on each 

 street. Then space oflE the intervening 

 distance, setting the stakes equally dis- 

 tant apart, but not less than sixty-five 

 feet, as the shortest distance. 



Street trees, generally, are planted too 

 closely together. Sometimes this is done 

 with the intention of cutting out alter- 

 nate ones, as the growth of the trees 

 require. This, however, is seldom done, 

 and the trees grow up too thickly, there- 

 by overcrowding and injuring each other, 

 destroying also the individual beauty of 

 the trees and the symmetrical arrange- 

 ment which an avenue of trees should 

 have.
