How Nature Plants the Tree

WILLOWS 



Willows nearly always grow along the bank of 

 some stream or lake. The swift current and the 

 waves sometimes snap off their branches. When 

 these branches are afterwards washed ashore, 

 they soon take root and grow. 



So Nature plants her trees. The old trees die, 

 but always Nature is sending up younger ones to 

 fill their places in the forest.
