length. These pamphlets, or bulletins as they are termed by 

 their author, are somewhat voluminous and contain a large 

 amount of information relative to tree planting, the species best 

 adapted to city streets, and the best methods for setting out trees 

 so as to secure success. Bulletin No. 2 contains some useful hints 

 on tree pruning, and aims to correct the ruinous, unskilful 

 methods which have destroyed the beauty of so many shade 

 trees in our cities and villages. 



These publications should be welcomed by all who are inter- 

 ested in village improvement societies or the work of tree plant- 

 ing in cities. It is to be hoped that many such associations will 

 be organized in the towns and cities of our State.
