“A City Plan for Dallas,” just pre- 
pared for the city of Dallas, Tex., by 
George E. Kessler, of Kansas City, is 
one of the finest and most compre- 
hensive of the many elaborate city 
plan reports that have been reviewed 
in these pages from time to time with- 
in the past few years. It treats with 
professional thoroughness and at the 
same time with interesting and capable 
literary qualities every phase of out- 
door improvement that goes to pro- 
vide for a better, more efficient and 
more beautiful city. The book is ex- 
ecuted in the highest art of illustra- 
tion and typography and is profusely 
illustrated with photographs, maps, 
diagrams, and street sections and 
every form of illustration that could 
add to the clearness and forcible pre- 
sentation of the subject. The pro- 
posed improvements that are provid- 
ed for in detail include: Levees, Belt 
Railroad, Union Station, Freight 
Terminals, Civic Center, Grade 
Crossings, Street Openings, Parks, 
Parkways, Boulevards and Play- 
grounds. The book is nine and a half 
by twelve inches in size, and beauti- 
fully executed, with illuminated head- 
ings, and half-tone illustrations loose- 
ly mounted. It also contains the last 
annual report of the Dallas Park 
Board.

ing to horticulture, a list of members

Rare Specimen Evergreens 
For Use In Public Grounds 
Perfect specimens of such trees as Grafted Blue Spruce and 
Select Colorado Blue Spruce are hard to find in the average 
nursery, because they are hard to grow. We make a specialty 
of these and other standards — especially those which architects, 
superintendents, and owners are often at pains to locate. In 
common with all 
Hill’s Specimen Evergreens 
these are transplanted frequently, beginning when they are very 
small. Thus we develop a splendid root system and a dense, 
shapely top. Good roots are, of course, the basis of success in 
transplanting evergreens and the low percentage of loss in moving 
Hill’s Specimen Evergreens is evidence of our success in this 
direction. Particulars gladly furnished on request. Visitors are 
welcome at our nursury any week day.
