Planting of the " Center Parking " Type. 



A unique and distinctive form of this well known type of planting which is suggested 

 lor Broadway from 59th Street to 122nd Street. 



The shrub planting on the central parking already exists. The scattered and deterio- i 

 rating Elms on the sidewalks should be replaced by small, formally pruned trees. Poplars 

 or Gingkos are recommended for this purpose. Planes or Lindens could be used with the 

 same pruning, but are not quite so adaptable to such severe treatment.

Planting op the "Pruned Formal" Type. 



A beautiful and distinct form of planting appropriate for this important business and 

 residential street. 



This type of planting on a small scale, using Poplars, has already been tried in New York 

 and in Newark. The trees are to be kept of small size and formal shape by pruning, and 

 they are to be grown in specially prepared tree pits beneath gratings. Either the Poplar 

 or Gingko is recommended for this use. Small trees of this form would remove the preju- 

 dice of shop owners to trees in front of their places of business. 



See Chapter VI for details and photograph of this type of planting.
