Development of Treesj.in Woodlawn Cemetery, Detroit, Mich 
An interesting and vital problem in tree growth 
was before the management of Woodlawn Cemetery, 
Detroit, Mich., four years ago, and the accompanying 
views taken there last summer serve to show how it 
was allowed to solve itself. The site was a heavily 
timbered tract, and its ornamental treatment necessi- 
tated the partial clearing and thinning out of the 
densely timbered sections. This problem was dis- 
cussed by Mrs. Frances Copley Seavey in Park and 
Cemetery of August, 1899, and Superintendent Frank 
Eurich was then quoted as hoping that the bare tree 
trunks would “feather out” of their own accord merely 
from the free entrance of sunlight and air. Mr. 
Eurich writes that his hopes have been more than 
realized, and sends these photographs to show to what 
a remarkable extent this branching out has taken
