THE GINKGO 



47 



seven years ago and later transplanted to the garden, is now seven 

 feet tall. At the same time, several others planted in this city 

 bid fair to become useful as well as ornamental trees. There 

 are about thirty Ginkgo trees in the parks and on the lawns of 

 Louisville. Most of these are in the heart of the city and all are 

 splendid specimens. 



These trees have been planted extensively in Washington. 

 The splendid avenue of Ginkgoes on either side as you approach 

 the Agricultural Building is an object of pride to Americans, 

 and has been greatly admired by foreigners. 



Why not plant more of these wonderfully attractive trees? 

 The thick leathery leaf is insect proof, as is the clean trunk, which 

 is never attacked by beetles. If seeds cannot be obtained, cut- 

 tings can successfully be rooted.
