. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. PARK PARK 1215 ways for those on foot and on wheels. The simplest type has a broad drive in the center with a walk on either side separated from the drive by a belt of turf and it is always shaded by trees. Frequently, two driveways are provided with a broad space between containing trees and turf, and sometimes foot paths,bicycle paths, bridle paths or other conveniences, and often shrubs, flowers, statues and other decora- tions, A further development is arranged like the first form, with the addition of narrow streets for house frontage on each side and with an enlargement and elabo- ration of the planting spaces between the middle and side drives. Of recent years some boulevards have been made to pro- vide for electric car tracks upon a special turfed reservation with rows of trees, where the cars can attain high speed with little danger of collision with other vehi- cles. Such reservations are generally be- tween two roadwaj^s, but in some sub- urban districts, notably in the city of Rochester, a single-track reservation is placed on either side of a single roadway between the curb and the sidewalk. A parkway, so far as it can be discriminated from a boulevard, includes more breadth of turf or planted ground and includes, usually, narrow passages of natural scen- ery of varying width, giving it a some- what park-like character and inducing a less formal treatment of the roads, paths and accessory features. Parkways are frequently laid out along streams so as to include the natural beauties of brook or river scenery and to preserve the main surface-water channels in public control, thus providing for the adequate, economi- cal and agreeable regulation of storm drainage and floods
