Author Description

Excerpt from Shade Trees for North Carolina Shade trees should be regarded as a necessity on the streets of the cities and towns of North Carolina. They lessen the heat and glare of the long hot summer days without checking the cooling southern breezes, and filter from the air a large portion of the dust which rises from the streets and roads. Nor must their aesthetic qualities be overlooked. Towns fortunate enough to have shaded parks and streets bordered with neatly kept rows of trees possess an intrinsic asset. Many towns in North Caro lina derive a large portion of their income from summer or winter visitors and the street tree contributes not a little to producing the conditions most agreeable to these guests.
