Shade for Pennsylvania Highways.

The Pennsylvania state department of forestry and the state highway department have completed arrangements for co-operation in planting shade trees and fruit trees along the state highways. The trees will be grown from seed by the forestry department tn its nurseries, transplanted in areas set aside for the purpose, then turned over to the highway department when they have attained suitable size. Good roads organizations will also assist in the planting at that time. The species already transplanted are Scotch, white and pitch pines, Norway spruce,. Douglas fir, sugar maple, white ash, white elm, black cherry, honey locust and European larch. i
