STREET FORESTRY. HAT is the best city tree? The Eastern cities of this country W must find out. The past decado has borne hard upon shade trees. In epite of all efforts, the elm, so long the glory of Sew England cities, has gone down before its implacable enemies, the moth and beetle. Hardly a city that used to be noted for its elms can now show anything save bare branches and dying stumps. Cambridge and Springfield, formerly two of the fhost beautiful Massachusetts “elm cities,” are striking instances of the downfall of the stately tree. Ton years ago the yard of Harvard University was famous for its fine old elms towering high above the dormitories, making the university en- @osure through the spring morfhs a place of rare beauty. To-day seamain only ugly stumps which are being uprooted and hauled away. “There comes a moment when trying to save an old tree is waste & time and money. The Park Commissioner said, the other day, die- @assing trees in New York City: } “It does not pay to spend much money on crippled and dying theses. It pays better to set out new trees.” But setting out new trees at random or for experiment will not The tragic fate of the American elm should teach that vigilancs ip necessary to preserve for any length of time its successor. And what is that successor to be? The Commissioner admits that the elm is done for: ° teaches me that elms are not good trees for city streets or city parks. They do not thrive woll in each places. In ttrects the olm is a failure. The Oriental plane tree is better for such places. The tulip is also a better and more handsom” fees.

German cities have had good luck with the linden and tulip. ’ The plane and tulip are regular, semi-conventional trees, well Bapted to long, straight avenues. Yet Americans cannot soon forget the tall, irrogular grave, the dignity and stateliness of the elm. ,. New York should have the benefit of the fullest knowledge and eaperience of urben tree planting. In streot trees particularly the dty 4s far behind other capitale—it has made hardly a beginning. The work should go forward only under the most expert guidance. Why not establish 2 commission to determine the best trees for New York? The elm is dead. Only intelligence and care will find worthy @accessors. i is “ ————-4 -—___—_—. : BREAD AND BEER.
