Of this number the following are adapted for planting only on very 

 wide streets, on parking strips or along avenues, and are not recommended

 crowns, unless it is expected to trim them to keep them in bounds : white 

 oak, live oak, red oak, black oak, swamp chestnut oak, southern red oak 

 (Spanish oak), tulip poplar, sycamore, oriental plane, sweet gum. 



ORNAMENTAL TREES. 

 Partly in addition to the above, there are a number of species having 

 showy flowers, some of which admit of use alone as standard shade trees 

 as indicated by being included in the above list; most of them, however, 

 are not well suited for use alone, but are preferably used in alternation 

 with standard shade trees, or for centre planting.
