 you a basswood tree. 

 The horses and cattle 

 "trimmed "this, also. 

 It has now bt-en en- 

 closed in a new part 

 of a cemetery. The 

 basswood makes a 

 fine shade tree. It 

 has strong lateral 

 branches, and it i-, 

 one of the best honey- 

 producing plants \\c 

 have. Plant more of 

 them. Photo 33 pre- 

 sents to your view a 

 genuine sugar maple, 

 the same as in 31. 

 This grew up in the 

 forest and was al- 

 lowed to stand in the 

 "clearing." The 

 land around it has 

 been cultivated for 

 more than twenty 

 years. The trunk is 

 some 3 feet through 

 at the base, and the 

 owner is careful not 

 to have it marred. 

 This tree shows you 

 that you can form the 

 top at any height you 

 please. You can have 

 the branches drag on 

 the ground, or form 

 the head 33 feet from 



the ground, as this is. Photo 35 gives you two mammoth oaks, remnants of the forest. 

 The picture does not do them justice. They are so large the camera would not take 

 them in when near by. The right-hand one is some 6 feet through at the base. The 

 principal thing we want you to observe in this is their powerful anus. Whether the 

 "tree-butcher" has been kept away from these oaks with the broom stick or shotgun, I 

 know not, but they are fine object lessons, as are the others preceding. They all teach 

 what your trees "might have been" under right conditions, and we know, kind readers, 

 that you have invested your money for the purpose of acquiring such majestic beauties; 

 and though you have failed, if you will follow the teachings of THK TREE DOCTOR in 

 planting and trimming trees, you or your descendants shall attain unto this desirable end. 

 Photo 36 shows you a young rock, or sugar maple. Though these are slower gm\v- 

 ing than the soft maple, yet it pays to wait for their strong makeup ami beauty of foliage 



WHAT THE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANIES DO. 



Photo 37 gives you a view of a handsome row of young rock maples. They were the 

 pride of the owner of the farm. They were planted in the fence row. Looking down 

 the road you will see that the street bends a little to the right. The trees were continued
