\^ 172 A SELECT LIST OF ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS, VINES, ETC. 



Tjot me bcspcch your readers to coniinenec now the reeonstnintion of tlie wast- 

 inc forests. The time of year in wliieh this cnn l)e done is so brief and fleeting, 

 a little hesitation about the resolve to do so, and the moment has gone for another 

 year. 



The necessity and ntility, coupled with the real jileasure of jthintintr and pro- 

 tecting trees, should lead to immediate action ; the ultimate benericcnt results will 

 as surely follow as that cause and effect are linked together.
