TEEE FORMS. 



EPHYRS that gently 

 touch the summer 

 leaves of the forest 

 give the charm of 

 movement to the vary- 

 ing shades of verdure 

 which spread over the 

 landscape and impress 

 the brain, through the 

 eye, with that sense of 



beauty which lends such fascination to summer 

 foliage. But the still air of a frosty day, when the 

 atmosphere is freed from fog or mist, provides the 

 best condition for studying the beautiful forms of 

 trees. 



First, by right of magnificence must come the 

 tree that reigns in the forest the noble Oak.
