Gentlemen: — 
In the Spring of 1908 our Park Board purchased of you some 600 European Lindens of 3 to 3V Z inch calliper. 
In 1911 they bought from you another lot of 326 trees of same variety and size. These trees were planted on Charles 
Street (extended) between 29th Street and University Parkway, and during' the past four or five years I have had tlia 
opportunity of watching their development. The loss in this planting has been practically negligible and the growth of the 
trees has been altogether satisfactory. I consider this tree an admirable one for street and park planting, and that its 
good points place it in a class above the average of our shade trees. I am so pleased with the species that I have used 
it in the planting of several of our fine streets during the past few years. I have every reason to continue my faith in 
the trees and hope to use some more of them as our funds here will permit. Very truly yours, 
It. BROOKE MAXWELL, City Forester.
