Typical Manhattan streets suggested for this treatment 

 are: 



Fifth avenue below 59th street. 



West 23rd street. 



Fifty-seventh street. 



Tenth avenue (57th to 72nd streets). 



West 11th street. 



East 36th street. 



Second avenue (7th to 15th street). 



V. The Center Row Type. 



Another interesting type of planting is that which makes 

 use of a single or a double row of trees in a central parking 

 without the ordinary sidewalk trees. This type might be 

 considered a variation of the " Third Row Type" (Number 

 II above). It is an optional type of planting for use on wide 

 streets where the normal type (Number I) could also be 

 used. It is especially appropriate for streets with narrow 

 sidewalks and wide roadways, since it will give shade and 

 arborial decoration to a street, and yet cut off no light or air 

 from the lower stories of the buildings. It is thus well 

 adapted for wide streets which contain high buildings and 

 congested population. Typical streets for which this type 

 of planting is appropriate are : 



(a) (Single row) East 106th street. 



(b) (Double row) Broadway, 135th to 168th street 

 (partly existing), Delancy street (existing). 



VI. The Informal Type. 



A more unusual type of planting is that in which a cen- 

 tral parking is planted to shrubs and informal groups of 

 trees, but in which no regular rows of trees occur on either 

 the central parking or the sidewalks. This style of plant- 

 ing is used entirely for decorative effect upon the street 

 with no thought of shade. This type is appropriate for wide 

 streets with high buildings where other types may not be 

 used on account of shallow soil conditions due to subways 

 or other forms of construction beneath the street. Park 

 avenue from 50th to 96th street is already very effectively
