TREE TESTS 



THE best way to find out if you really know trees is 

 to organize a tree test among your friends. I know of 

 no more delightful out-of-doors pastime for a group of boys 

 or girls than to go out among the trees and actually find out 

 who can come out on top in a tree-naming contest. The 

 first thing to do is to select a leader, if you do not already 

 have one. He will select the trees for the test. After you 

 have examined the first test tree carefully, you will write your 

 answer in the blank space following the number one in the 

 blank tree tests that follow. Then, the leader will select a 

 second tree and you will write your answer in the second 

 blank space following the number two, and so on until your 

 first test of ten trees is completed. As soon as a test is com- 

 pleted the test sheet of all who took part in the contest is 

 corrected, and then you will know just how well you know 

 the trees. For thirteen years the author of this booklet con- 

 ducted tree tests in the open, and he remembers them as the 

 most pleasant feature of all his teaching experience.
