WATER SCENE. 
Deciduous Trees and Shrubs. 
The planting of shade trees is of great importance to California ; it is, therefore, gratifying to note 
the interest being awakened in the lining of country roads and city residence streets with desirable 
trees. No feature is so well calculated to favoralily impress the strangers who annually flock to our 
Coast as liberal tree-planting, whether in the public parks or throughout the surburban districts. It is 
noticeable that where trees are planted extensively the character of the country has in that degree 
changed for the better. It is well known that the presence of trees reduces the temperature dr'aws 
moisture, breaks the velocity of winds, and generally improves the country. Be not discouraged 1)y the 
thought that you can only afford to set out one or two trees. Go ahead. Every little helps. You will 
be amply repaid in the grateful shade those few trees will give you. 
In this class will be found only such trees as are good for the purposes indicated above. Space 
forbids our entering into any lengthy dissertation upon their respective merits.
