take hold quickly and in a few years 

 show beauty in habit, foliage and 

 flowers that is scarcely excelled in 

 after years, though they may in- 

 crease in size. Planting is often de- 

 layed from year to year until suffi- 

 cient time has passed to have al- 

 lowed the trees to make large growth 

 had they been set when the idea was 

 first entertained. Almost any shrub 

 or tree, with good treatment, may be 

 counted on to reach a very pleasing 

 size in from two to six years from 

 planting. How soon such a period 

 slips by! To illustrate permit me to 

 cite the experience of the capitol city 

 of my own native state. Outside of 

 the Capitol and university grounds 

 mere were no public parks in Madi- 

 son, Wisconsin, 15 years ago. Now 

 there are 300 acres of parks connect- 

 ed by some 30 miles of beautiful park- 

 ways. While Madison is naturally a 

 beautiful city, it contained besides 

 beauty spots, many swampy and un- 

 sightly regions. Chief among these 

 was the marshy region along a slug- 

 gish stream that connects the waters 

 of the two lakes through the penin- 

 sula upon which the city is situated. 

 This was a dumping ground for 50 

 years. It had become so ugly and un- 

 sightly that we used to shut our eyes 

 as we passed in and out of the city 

 on the trains. At last a crusade was 

 started against it and this region was 

 practically turned into a paradise of 

 beauty during my college days. An- 

 other park which was nothing but a 

 marsh less than 10 years ago was sim- 

 ilarly transformed and is now one of 

 the most delightful little parks in the 

 entire Northwest. 



It is well to bear in mind that "the 

 way to get started is to start." To 

 debate too long on pros and cons con- 

 sumes energies without result. Do 

 something and in the course of your
