TREE PLANTING 



ON 



STREETS AND HIGHWAYS 



BY WILLIAM F. FOX 



Superintendent State Forests (New TTorK) 



TJHIS MONOGRAPH contains full instructions as' to 

 the proper method of planting shade trees; the selec- 

 tion of species best adapted to streets or highways, 

 and a description of each kind, its appearance and 

 special uses. It furnishes valuable information as to 

 the care of trees, pruning, and protection from insect 

 ravages. The question of placing shade trees under 

 municipal control is fully discussed. There is an 

 interesting chapter, also, on the autumnal colors of 

 foliage, with suggestions as to the selection of species that will 

 secure the best effects in this respect. 



The author's life-long experience in our Northern forests, 

 and his connection with forestry work of a practical character, 

 enables him to speak with authority on this important subject. 

 His work will be read with pleasure and profit by all who are 

 interested in tree culture and civic improvement. 



The pages are finely illustrated with photographs that were 

 taken with the especial view of their relation to the text — views 

 of well shaded streets or country roads, and separate studies in 

 tree habit. The pages devoted to autumn foliage contain pictures 

 of leaves, brilliantly colored and true to nature, far surpassing 

 anything of the kind attempted before. The outlines of the 

 leaves, their venation, and their arrangement on the stem, are 

 figured with that absolute accuracy which is obtainable, only by 

 expert photography. 



The work is of quarto size, printed on fine paper, with wide 

 margins. It contains twenty-eight photographs and eleven 

 colored plates of autumn leaves, most of them full page. Price 

 $1.00, postage free.
