Decid uous Trees for Street and Roadsid< 
B 
Y SOME unfortunate chance 
we have neglected a great op¬ 
portunity for beautifying the 
country roadsides by the planting of 
permanent shade trees, and our roads 
through the country are apt in summer 
to be glaring, dusty stretches, or else 
the fence-rows have been allowed to 
grow up with short-lived “weed trees” 
and brush, a menace to the neighboring 
fields, for they are a breeding-place for 
insect and fungous diseases and vermin 
of every sort. This uninviting appear¬ 
ance of neglect can be changed to one 
of neatness and direct economic value 
to your property by planting trees at 
, regular intervals or in naturalesque

Maples are among those adapted for use on high, well-drained ground, and 
for more moist situations there are the Elm, Sweet Gum and Plane, while 
numberless other species permit a wide variety of choice. 
For street planting in town and city, trees should be chosen that are of 
persistent lapid growth, for in our busy American life it is surprising how 
soon the apartment house supplants the suburban home or cosy cottage. 
Two trees which are to be especially recommended for their ability to 
thrive under the trying conditions of street-planting, which are free from 
insect pests, and which rapidly supply an abundance of shade, are the 
Oriental Plane and Norway Maple. Both of these trees are fast, vigor¬ 
ous growers and naturally form low, broad, symmetrical heads of heavy 
foliage making them ideal for use in suburban developments where 
immediate results are required in the street planting. 
As with all our stock, great care is taken, by setting 
the trees wide apart in the nursery rows, trimming, and 
frequently transplanting, 
to produce trees which are 
superior in every way to 
those ordinarily offered, 
superior in sturdy trunks, 
well-formed heads, and, 
most important, superior 
- n root - systems, with 
abundant fibrous feeding- 
roots. Thus the buyer is 
repaid by the better re¬ 
sults obtained in the use 
of Andorra-grown trees Rows of stately trees at regular intervals enhance the 
& ' appearance of any town or city
