Typical Avenue of Beautiful Norway Maples 
Street Trees and Civic Planting 
N O finer monument to civic beauty exists than the trees 
which arch the streets and avenues of our older cities 
and towns, no other one thing adds as much to the 
beauty and dignity of our public parks and grounds as their 
stately shade trees. These stand as a grateful memorial to the 
civic pride and forethought of our public-spirited citizens. 
A wide range of trees offers for selection as street trees; 
appropriate sorts for suburban planting where there is ample 
room for root-development are the Maples, White and Green 
Ash, Tulip Tree, Pin Oak, Ked Oak, Gingko and Elms. Where 
the parking space is more restricted no trees can compare with 
the rapid-growing Norway Maple and Oriental Plane, as they 
seem better able to withstand extremes of heat and drought 
than any others. 
The parking space between curb and sidewalk offers an op¬ 
portunity for planting not only trees but flowering shrubs and 
Evergreens and gives added protection to the suburban home 
against the noise and dust of street or road. 
For planting of parks and public grounds the range of 
trees and shrubs is practically unlimited and in such plantings 
the value of the Evergreens for their richness and color should 
be constantly kept in mind.
