as tbey do not ahed their bark, like
the plane. In the suburban section
tulips, sugar maples, scarlet and red
oaks, sweet gums, ashes aud Crimean
and silver lindens make excellent street
trees.
Carefully grown nursery trees, with
straight stems aud an abundance of
fibrous roots, are alone suitable for
street planting, as only such trees are
likely to thrive and make well bal
anced specimens, and to secure hand
some, even rows only one kind of tree
must be planted on a street for a aeries
of blocks. Tho treea should be planted
at least tweuty-tlve or thirty feet apart
to allow sudlclent sunlight and air fur
their proper development.
Where a tree stands near a curb a
tree guard is required to protect the
trunk from horse's teeth. Many thou
sands of the existing trees have al
ready been ruined for want of the
proper tree guards.
Allowing a tree guard to remain aft
er the tree has outgrown it has caused
the death of thousands of our trees.
The expanding trunk in such cases la
girdled by the guard and the flow of
anp cut off.
For the first two or three seasons the
newly planted tree requires much at
tention. Kven If transplanted with
care many root will be cut and, unless
those remaining are kept well supplied
with water during the dry summer
mouths, the trco will die for link of
nourishment. A soaking watering
once a week should therefore be given
during the dry weather. The ground
about tho tree should also be loosened
orriislonally to enable the air to circu
late through the soil.
Injurious Insects are responsible for
the poor condition of many of the
trees. The tussock moth caterpillar.
Imported originally from Europe, has
been for a generation n scourge to the
es lu 1'hlludelphln. Swarming over
