Project Reviewed During her talk Mrs. Eden stressed that the beautifica tion project which she heads for the city is a community endeavor and is not costing the taxpayers or the city any money. The trees are being purchased by property owners and cared for by them. The Parks and Recreation commit tee, aided by. a number of vol unteers, surveyed the city's needs and decides which type of tree should be planted on each street. Trees are pur chased in quantity in order to secure reductions in price. Citizens are instructed how to plant the trees, how to. space them and how to care for them. In deciding on the types of trees for each locality, the ex perts took into consideration location, growing conditions, species, height and ultimite size of the trees and many other factors. When the trees have grown to a size to pro duce mass effects of bloom and foliage, the result will be a much more beautiful city, Mrs. Eden explained. Working with Mrs. Eden on the project are Mrs. Fred C. Lorish, John Adams, Chester Corry, Ashland, all trained landscape architects; C. B. Cordy, county horticultural agent and Mrs. Minnie Ball, former garden ' club worker. Others are Mrs. William Tuck er, a retired draftsman, who made a map of the city giving the location of the various tree flirt, again.." from the pages of April McCairs this flirtations print ... in sheerest Darron and cotton by Rosewood.

She displayed a certificate which may be secured if trees are planted as a memorial, this having been the idea of Mayor John Snider. A record of the tree, the name of the honored person and the location is kept in a book at the city hall. . An unexpected dividend of the project has been the loca tion and identification of a number of unusual trees al ready growing in the city, the speaker said. She listed a Cornelian dogwood cherry, native of Central and southern Europe growing in the yard at 645 Palm street. It has a blanket of yellow flowers in the spring, and in the fall has scarlet fruit. An oak known as a chestnut or rock oak is growing in the front yard at 111 Washington street, and a good specimen of a redbud tree is growing at 607 King street in the parking strip. A curiously named tree is the pawlonia tomentosa, known either as Prince of Netherlands or Empress, of China, she said. One of these is growing in front of the Evelyn apartments. A crypte meria, 150-foot forest tree from Japan, is growing at Eighth and Laurel street, across from the Jackson coun ty courthouse and a Japanese privet, bush form, at the cor ner of Peach and Dakota streets across from Washing ton school. A fine specimen of the gin ko, or maidenhair tree, can be seen at the entrance of the driveway to the Bengtson home on Oregon terrace; this import from China and Japan is a link with the prehistoric tree-fern age and the remains of a petrified ginko forest is in eastern Washington. These are now being planted on Ha vana and Sutter streets in Country Club estates. The committee is also using a new tree ropogated by Ed ward Scanlon particularly for street planting, she said. The tree, which grows in a colum nar manner, is known as the Scanlon maple. It has been planted on Holly street by St. Mary's academy, these having been dedicated to the Acade my Sisters, and at other places in the city. The Modesto ash is also being planted on sev eral streets this year. Mrs. Wilson welcomed the guests, and Mrs. Eloise Win- klebleck gave the invocation.
