Cholcest Trees The Ld n era of tree-planting oses on a large scale California, espe- s, and for avenue ed, the proposal to make a ARAUCARIAS, | place is where that species is most per- fectly at home, and more nearly attains its maximum size and beauty. The Monterey press at Cypress Point is ome of the greater glories of the California forest— | but the cypress is not a proper avenue tree. Zucalyptus globulus, and other coarse species, when planted in great and dark masses upon our hillsides or in our val- leys, form a very impressive feature of the landscape, and ‘such groves will increase in their grandeur for many years to come | until they may become as famous as some of the gum forests of Australia; but there could hardly be a more unsuitable choice than any of these eucalypti-for avenue }’“"lguses. 1t is true that there are euca- lypti, such as E. citriodoro, and_blossom- ing species, such as the inimitable scarlet E. ficifolia, which would add glory to any boulevard, but these many other choice species are too tender to be planted, except in frostless localities. 2 It is not the purpose of this article to furnish a complete list of desirable avenue er t 1 attention to a few r grace or nobility of ap- h should properly find place in such an avenue, not as single trees, but | as sole ocenpants of a_considerable’ dis- | tance.

In T ranne pUIPoses,. ievery, districts this is almost a swamp tree, change in soil and exposure should be carefully considered and the proper adapt ation of variety made. A good mar The Great Tulip. [Drawn from a branch of a tree growing at! Berkeley.] avenues have been planted by mixin, great variety of trees haphazard, on either side of the road, and sometimes along the center also. No such mixed avenues can ever reach the dignity that is possible to avenues whose shade trees have been care- fully chosen and distributed with due reference to_the principles of landscape gardening. Indeed.in most such cases the cheaper and more commonplace spe: cies predominate; one sees a few rare trees lost 1n the multiplicity of inferior forms, There is a place for every tree, and that nce is ‘made to such an im- | t we should plant palm | ble, treble or quadruple rows, | such an avenue | one of the most ashingtonia | for other trees, while, on | it would be far easier to plant f choice species, each covering s, than to select any one species h predominant avenue usefulness as to entitle it to absolute supremacy. In se- cting the notable trees to place upon a great California boulevard, we certajnly should not neglect the trees of America. All botanists agree that no other part of tke world contains so many beautiful trees { = that e A Japanese Magnolia. as the territory embraced within the United States, and some of our finest species are | planted in Europe more extensively than the trees of any other country. man but it will grow in dry localities if there is lime in the soil. Ttis one of the largest and most valuable trees of the Atlantic forests, and reaches its greatest de\'e!og- ment in the lower part of the Wabash val- | ley and in the mountains of Tennessee and | North Carolina. The wood is largely manufactured into lumber and used for interior finishing and many domestic pur- poses. For this reason alone the tree | should be planted on a large scale in Cal- | iforpia; but we are now considering chiefly | its value for ornamental planting, and | more particulary for avenues. | "The liriodendron belongs to the showy | mily of magnolias, all of which are na- es of Asia and America and eminently | adapted to arboretums. It is difficult to | say why Magnolia grandifiora should be s0 much more often planted in California | than its lovely relative, the liriodendron. | Magnificent as is a fine specimen of the | superb white-flowered southern magnolia, | the trees are brittle, and it would be dif- | ficult to secure sufficient uniformity along | an avenue. The magnolia requires a goo i deal of special attention in the way of Watering, training and staking while young | {in order to secure shapely trees. The lir- dron, on the other hand, makes & shaped tree with very little trouble, is | easily grown from seed and thrives won- derfully in the Santa Clara valley. Michaux, in his North American Silva, describes the tulip tree forests of former days in Ken- tncky where many used to stand of from six to eight feet in diameter and from 120 to 140 feet in height. In that region the trees begin to bloom when six or eight {;ears old, and _in California will do even etter, although in England, according to Lindle{ & Moore’s Treasury of Botany, they seldom bloom until past the twentieth year, A tree mear Niles, in Alameda County, ‘is about fifteen years old and stands about thirty feet high, with a noble sweep of branches. A mile of such trees on each side of a highway would be beauti- ful atall seasons of the year, and espe- cially so when in bloom. "It is not to be supposed that this tree would ever become too large for proper avenue uses, because it _grows slowly after the twentieth year amf its ordinary height is hardly agove sixty or seventy-five feet. 7 Of all the trees in North America of de- ciduous leaves] the liriodendron is proba- bly the cleanest in appearance and the most regular in the ~disposition of its branches, which seem to form almost an ideal type of the deciduous trees. The growth of the leaves in early spring is | fan middle one of which is notched in the cen- ter, givini: it a very individual appearance, and in the autumn they assume a golden yellow color before they fall. The flowers are m]ip-::xngwd and shade from yellow to orange and {rom orange to green, varying more or less on different trees and at” dif- ferent stages of development. Surrounded by luxuriant foliage they ‘always produce afine effect and are sold” on the street in some of the Eastern and Southern cities. Huxley, in one of his most interesting essays, uses an illustration drawn from an avenue of tulip trees to show how incom- prehensible to the finite mind is the idea of a million. He deseribes a tulip-tree avenue known to him at one of the famous English parks. This avenue is three miles long and is supposed to be in full flower. Every square yard of its surface is sup- osed to contain nine flowers. Mr. Hux- ey then proceeds to figure out the number of flowers in bloom on this avenue, and it falls far short of the desired million. But, as he says, one might ride along the ave- nue an _endless number of times without being able to carry in the mind a distinct and separate conception of each one of all the units of flowers which go to make up the total. There are other beautiful Amerjcan de- ciduous trees, famous among the spring bloomers, such as the Western catalpa, and, still more glorious in flower but of lesser size, our own California Cornus Nut- talli. But let us glancea moment at one or two notable trees from Japan. Among the magnolias of the deciduous-leafed type is M. conspicua. in various forms, pro- ducing white flowers in spring before the leaves; M. purpurea, whizh varies in color, the predominating shade being Purple maroon, belongs to the same general class, and there are many allied species. The larger Japanese magnolias in their native forests are trees of from forty to fifty feet high, and as a tree of thirty feet in height is extremely useful for avenue purposes the better species of deciduous magnolias should not be forgotten. All these mag- nolias are of easy growth, and could be raised at slight expense if they were in sufficient demand. A much-neglected Japanese tree of mass- ive, semi-tropical ap{;camnce is the Paul- ownia imperialis. It is a tree with the habit of the Catalpa speciosa, and was originally classified with that tree. Its zrowth is extremely rapid. It hasa large, ense and spreading top crowded with abundant broad rounded leaves which the irreverent might compare to huge sun- flower leaves. The chief drawback to the extensive use of these trees consists in the fact that these leaves make a good deal of litter, as is the case with the mulberry tree, the sycamore and nearly all trees possess- ing large rapid-growing leaves. The glory of the Paulownia consists in its immense terminal panicles of lavender- colored flowers. The tree was nota suc- cess in England, comparatively speaking, because the flowers do_not come out well in that climate, and it is far too tender for the Atlantic States. But in_ California, wherever it is given space to develop, the grandeur of large trees in bloom becomes something worthy of admiration. Where masses of this tree could be planted on hill- sides-or in ravines and belted with golden acacias they might be very beautiful when looked down upon from winding drive- ways. The tree has a high place in Jap- anése decorative art. Not onty the large flowers and spikes, but the curiously covered brown flower-buds, the kunotted joints and the speckled stems of the younger growth are used in conventional- ized forms, and the flower is especially dedicated to the Emperor’s service, Cuarres Howarp SHINN, HENRY CLAY AT WHIST. Wade Hampton’s Father Paid to De- nounce His Play. “One of my boyhood recollections,” said General Wade Hampton, ‘“refers to Henry | Clay. He was a frequent visitor at my father’s house in South Carolina. Both | Clay and my father were ardent whist | players, and nothing was more to their minds than the collection of a brace of { gentlemen equally addicted to whist, and then the quartet would play for hours. While the name of whist might serve to imply a game where silence reigned, my father and Clay didn’t play whist that way. They exulted audibly over a success, and did not hesitate when they were playingas partners to viclently point out mistakes the other had made, and attributed defeat to the other’s ignorance and wutter lack of natural intelligence. Indeed, on occasions varticularly trying, they were even known to apply hard names to one another. This v did in no slanderous spirit, but to hten \:g and sharpen the wits of the to the improvement of the play,” s the Chicago Times-Herald. As they e sitting down to a game as partners one evening Clay remarked : “ ‘It’s a great outrage the way we talk to each other, and my idea now, at the outset, is for each of us to put up $20 to belong to the one who is_first called hard names by the other. If you assail me the money is mine; if I forget myself you take it.’ ““My father readily agreed. He feltina mild, agreeable mood. He was confident he would never again be a prey to the slightest impulse to speak harshly to his dear friend Clay. And, besides, it was his recollection that Clay was the man who raged and did all the loud talking. So my father cheerfully placed the $20 on top of Clay’s. He thought it would be a good lesson to the blue-grass orator | to lose it. As they proceeded with the {game Clay made some excessively | thick-headed and ill-adyised plays, He led the wrong cards; he trumped the wrong tricks; he did everything idiotic in whist that he well could. My father’s blood be- gan to boil. As he and Clay lost game after game his wrath ran higher and higher. Still he bit his lip and suffered a silence. It went on for hours, until Clay made some play of crowning imbecilit; which lost him and my father theeleventh game. Flesh and blood could stand no more. My father sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay. “‘Why,” said Clay, opening his gray eyes with a look of innocenee and amaze- ment, ‘why do you do that? You haven’t said a word.” ‘“‘No,” retorted my father, ‘but I'm going to tell yon, sir, that yon are the most abject idiot, the most boundless imbecile that ever dealt a hand at whist. Yes, sir; 1 repeat it, youare the — fool I ever met in my life."”’ A BIG BOLOGNA. Over Half a Mile Long Was This Great Sausage. The revival of the trades.after the long stagnation which followed in the wake of the crusades was responsible for many fantastic procession freaks in the larger towns of Western Europe. For an in- stance we are told that in the Chancellor's procession which took place at Nuremberg in 1487 the bakers of the town exhibited a loaf of bread weighing 1141 pounds, and that in the same procession a cheese- maker exhibited a “star—shaged cheese which put three horses on their mettle to pull it through the streets mounted on a goodly dray.,” The old ac- count further says that this bread and cheese, which was distributed free of charge among the merrymakers, “‘was din- ner sufficient for upward of 3000 persons.’ In the New Year’s procession at Konigs- berg in 1558 a bologna sausage exhibited byr&e “butchermen’” was 622 feet in length and was carried on the shoulders of sixty- seven men and boys. The one exhibited in the same city in the year 1583 was over 1600 feet in length and weighed 434 pounds, But the giant of all sausages, and perhaps the largest thing of the kind ever mad}:, was einbibell by the Konigsberg butchers on New Year's day in 1601, when they araded the streets with a sausage 3750 feet in length and weighing nearly unds. Tt was carried on the shoulders of 187 men, the first and last in the colugml:,avin it wound around their necks.—St. Louis Re- public. othe E irom the terminal buds, which swell in a fm""" manner and send out five or six eaves very rapidly and in a charming manner., l:flm eaves have three lobes, the Playing the Races. “Some men think when they happen to win a few hundred dollarsat horseu?l:rds, stocks or any other form of gambling, that NEW TO-DAY—AUCTION SALES, NEW TO-DAY—AUCTION SALES.

He | came back to the hotel that niggt Jubilant | and told me of his winnings. He said he had no doubt but that he could keep it up right along and thought it the gasiest game on earth fo beat. This was his first experience in playing the races, I advised Lim strongly against playing any more, but he laughed at my counsel. ““In less than a week the $700 he had won was all gone, and he hadn’t a cent of cash, but his wife happened to have some ele- gant jewelry, and her diamonds found their way to an avenue pawnshop. The poor woman grieved to part with her rings and bracelets, and sorrowed still more when a number of very swell imported gowns were missing from her trunk. The man only quit when he hadn’t an articlein the world left on which he could raise a dollar. The first day’s winning was fatal, and thechances arthat if he had lost that day that he would have left the game alone.”—Washington Post. NEW TO-DAY.
