The cost of planting street trees will be found to depend

 and when we come to examine the planting costs in various 

 cities we find even more striking variations than in the 

 case of maintenance costs. 



The cost of planting and establishing a street tree in 

 various cities where systematic street tree planting is being 

 done is as follows :* 



In Cleveland (planting only) $3 00 



In Hartford 3 30 



In Worcester 3 25 



In New Haven 4 00 



In Newark 4 65 



In Baltimore 6 00 



In Minneapolis 6 46 



In Buffalo 1 00 



In Brooklyn 8 00 



In Newark (with gratings) 10 65 



In New Haven (with gratings) 17 00 



In Albany (with gratings) 35 00 



In Boston, work done by contract including 



replacement guarantee 40 00
