Is tho cultiva tion of an adequate number of trees In the streets." Henutlfylng Cities. The city of Washington is Justly known as one of the most beautiful cities in America on account ot the seventy thousand trees that adorn its streets; and there ara many New Eng land towns fr.med for their extract ive appearance, due largely to the beautiful trees planted by village Im provement societies. It Is said that Parl3 has S0.CCG0 shade trees, and that $00,000 are expended annually in caring for them and planting addi tional ones. Moth Washington and Paris have nurseries In which seed lings or desirable species are propa gated" with special referenco to the roqntrements of street planting. Poor ly developed plants or sapTlngs are discarded, anJ only the straight, thrifty ones are selected for use on the city streets. In street planting care should be Nerclsed t select species which, len fully grcvn, will be of a slzo' liable to tho width ot tho street. d In making a choice only such, .ould bo selected as aro best adapt- ( od to the peculiar conditions which; Influence tehlr growth In cities. Selection of SktIc. in making a choice the first thing to bo considered 4s tho width of tho etrcet; also the width or the slde wa4k or nearness of tho houses. Where the house stands near tho eurb, trees with a tap rot are prefer able. I Tho following list includes all, or early all. tho species which aro de Irrble for street planting, most of which are quite common throughout New . England nd the middle states.
