The denlzena of towns find the pear one of the most satisfactory fruit trees for shade. It is deep rooting and mauy other things may be successfully grown right up to their trunks. Insects trouble them little. They grow rather fast, but it is many years beforethey get an objecticnably large size. The apple makes a spreading head, and there is soon shade under its branches, and besides, the beauty of its blossoms in spring makes the tree appreciated fully equal to a mere ornamental one. It is not a Tery Berious robber of the soil. The cherry makes a desirable ehade, but birds make too free with the fruit, and there is the temptatiou to break branches. The eour or pie cherries are however, not relished by birds. European walnut trees grow rather slowly. It is usually ten years before they produce nuts in any quantity, but after thls they are regarded as treasures with which their owners woulrt not willingly part. i-'or utility and fjrateful sliade comblned few trees can rival them. - Thomas Meehan in September Ladies' iiciino Journal.
