PARK AND CEMETERY. 
trunk be kept sufficiently large to pre- 
vent girdling. A clever form of such 
grating is that used around two elms 
in the Shaw Memorial in Boston. This 
is farmed by a number of iron rods 
forming an outside- ring, which radiate 
in towards the tree. . Thus, in the event 
of the tree growing over the rods, the 
spaces between will prevent girdling. 
Diagram 4 illustrates this. A similar 
form of grating is much used in Ger- 
many and France. Where small-sized 
trees are planted, a one-piece grating 
ma}' be used, provided the central ring 
is large enough to permit future growth. 
A source of damage to trees, rather 
little known, is that caused by putting 
on cotton, soaked in kerosene, as a pro- 
tection against insects. The oil blisters 
the inner bark, causing the outer bark 
to drop off a year or two later.
