Planting op the " Normal " Type (Form C). 



A suggested method of treating 100-foot streets which contain narrow sidewalks with 

 broad roadways and which are not provided with car lines. 



By a slight reduction in the roadway width the sidewalks may be widened from 20 to 

 25 feet. Trees of tall, narrow form should b3 used to prevent cutting off the supply of 

 light and air from the lower stories of the houses. The Gingko and Pin Oak normally 

 grow in this form, and can easily be kept of the shape and size desired by pruning. 



Trees to be grown in tree pits with iron gratings or other form of surface covering. 



See Section of East 106th Street for an optional treatment for streets of this class.

Planting of the " Third Row " Type. 

 r Typical section showing a suitable treatment for this street. It is advised to replace 

 the present rapidly deteriorating Elms on the sidewalks with Oriental Planes such as 

 exist at present in the central parking. 



The side rows could be kept pruned to small or medium-sized trees if the business 

 development of the street demands it. Probably owing to the limited area available for 

 the roots of the central row such pruning would be beneficial to the trees in this row also.
