Wlule the forestry bureau has concerned itself primarily with
ti^es from the standpoint of the timber supply, Dr. Mulf ord has
been making a study of trees best adapted for streets and cities
generally. And nobody is more interested than he in what Arbor
day signifies or how tress should be chosen and reared.
*^ We need trees most where our population is the thickest, and
some trees, like some people, are not adapted to such a life," said
Dr. Mulf ord. " For street or school yard planting one of the first
considerations is a hardy tree, that can find nourishment under
brick pavements or granite sidewalks. It must be one that
branches high from the ground and ought to be native to the
coimtry and climate. America has the prettiest native trees and
shrubs in the world and it is true patriotism to recognize them.
