Notwithstanding suchtrees as the Lindens (shown on the left-handchart) the Pin Oak and the American Elm, haveon our grounds made a very fine growth, yet itmust be admitted, that in the nature of things,it would take some time to obtain strong affectswere planters to rely solely upon this class. Didflowering shrubs grow no faster than suchtrees as the Elm (they grow very much fasterfor some years after planting) they would stillbe superior for early effects, because admittingby nature of close planting in beds in a way that.
