=Watering and After-Management.=—For a few years after being planted, trees and shrubs will require a certain amount of attention in the matter of watering and mulching during the prolonged heat and drought, and also in preventing the evils attending excessive wind-swaying owing to the stakes and moorings becoming defective. The goat and wood leopard moth, as also numerous kinds of caterpillars, attack newly-planted town trees, particularly the various species of Pyrus, Thorn, Willow and Poplar. The former tunnel into the main stem and render it so weak at the point attacked that it readily breaks across during windy weather, while the caterpillars feed on the foliage and greatly impair the health of the trees attacked. Spraying, hand-picking and shaking are to be recommended in the case of the caterpillars, while, to combat the goat and leopard moth, a small quantity of cyanide of potassium can be inserted in the mouth of the tunnel in order to dislodge or kill the insect. Watering should preferably be performed in the evening, the ground around the roots being thoroughly soaked, while mulching with freshly-mown grass or old straw will prevent the too rapid evaporation of the moisture. In extreme cases binding the stem with a hay rope is to be recommended. In order to prevent straining of the roots and bark chafing, the moorings of trees should receive a periodical examination. The following trees and shrubs are to be recommended for town planting:— [Illustration: PLANE TREE IN REGENT’S PARK] TREES
