Apple Trees in Parkways.
In Flossmoor. Ill., apple trees were planted in the parkways when the subdivision was laid out years ago. The trees have been neglected both as to spraying and pruning, but they have grown well and are now bearing.
When the suburb is built up the home owners will be able to take care of the trees and reap a harvest each year from their parkway space.
While the ornamental value of an apple tree in such a place may be open to debate, there is no question about its being superior to the Carolina poplars which most subdividers plant, and the apple trees ought to be a better selling point. They are good for 50 years, and begin to bear fruit just about the time the Carolina poplar is ready to cut down.-- Chicago Daily News.
