The whole county of Los Anpeles is thoroughly waked up on the subject of shade-trees alonR- the roadside. Last week a convention was held in the city to arouse interest, direct attention, and n'lve advice in the matter of shade- trees. Surely, no one thinp improves a region more, or at- tracts settlers more surely, than beautiful avenues of uni- form shade-trees. Shade-trees are not a thing of a day, and so fullest time for consideration is not unwisely spent. attacks, which are so common with some of our most beautiful trees, should be thoroughly studied. The maple in the East is a beautiful tree, and often a favorite for street planting, yet the borer, cottony scale, and the forest caterpillar like it as well as we. The elm, too, is a favorite with the cankerworm, and the imported elm-leaf beetle.

The beautiful pepper in California, which is rarely ex- celled in grace or elegance, unfortunately attracts the black scale and so is likely to be banished from Southern Califor- nia roadsides. Species of acacia and eucalyptus seem very free from insect attack, and may be very beautiful if wisely selected, and in resisting drouth probably have no equal. Surely, we can not afford bare roadsides, and long avenues of trees all of one kind are so incomparably attractive that all our home circles should consider this matter, and then may well follow the example of Los An
