Most of these in the tropical list are 
evergreen or nearly so and adapted to the 
tropics generally. Some kinds are able 
to withstand more frost than others, of 
which Grevillea robusta, Bauhinia pur¬ 
purea and alba, Bischofia javanica, Dal¬ 
bergia sissoo, Eucalyptus robusta and 
Jacaranda mimosaefolia, are prominent 
examples and are grown well up into the 
middle portion of peninsular Florida. The 
more hardy trees recommended-for north 
Florida may be used quite generally all 
over our state down to extreme south 
Florida, with few exceptions. 
In all this subject of avenue trees it 
must be remembered that proper prun¬ 
ing and growing must be followed to 
make a permanent success: do not plant 
with the notion that “nature will do the 
rest,” for she usually does, with advan¬ 
tage neither to the tree nor to the street.
