Planting op the "Center Row" Type. 



A suggested type of planting for 100-foot streets which contain narrow sidewalks with 

 broad roadways and are without car lines. 



In this case the sidewalks are narrowed from 20 to 15 feet, and a central parking 10 

 feet wide (as in Seventh Avenue.) is constructed. Either this treatment, or that suggested 

 for East 86th Street, is recommended on 100-foot streets with 20-foot sidewalks, as such 

 sidewalks are too narrow for satisfactory tree growth, or if the ordinary type of tree plant- 

 ing is attempted the lower stories of the buildings are rendered unhealthfully sunless.

PROPOSED TREATMENT 



L.D.C-L.lj 



Planting of the " Potted Tree " Type. 



A suggested treatment for the paved central plots or parkings in Park Avenue. 



Since this street is merely a roof to the railroad yard beneath no permanent planting is 

 possible. Trees of distinctive appearance are suggested, grown in concrete pots. 



This unique treatment would not be extremely costly, and would form a splendid 

 approach to the Grand Central Station from the Parked section of this street. Cocos 

 Palms are suggested for summer use which would be stored in Winter and replaced by 

 Evergreens, likewise grown in pots.
