SHADE! 



^THE burning heat which 

 glimmers over sunbaked 

 lawns and walks robs a home 

 of its rightful attributes of 

 comfort and restfulness dur- 

 ing half the year." Grace 

 Taylor, The Landscape Gar- 

 dening Book. 



As you look back upon the 

 past summer, does this quota- 

 tion apply to any portion of 

 your lawn? Has the lack of 

 trees deprived you of half the 

 pleasure that home should 

 give you? 



Xr,w is the time to set the matter 

 right the time to plant those trees that 

 will effect the remedy. We suggest 

 Sugar Maples. They will do more than 

 give you comfort, they will frame your 

 home in a festoon of green, ripening 

 in the autumn to the orange, gold and 

 red of Nature's tapestry. 



Moon's have long been special- 

 ists in Shade. Send for our Cata- 

 logue F. It lists Sugar Maples and 

 many other trees for this purpose. 

 Ask us especially about your own 

 particular problem.

FEDERAL FUNDS AID STATES 



.Mlotments of $400,000 of Federal funds 

 to states cooperating with the Government 

 in protecting forest lands from fire have 

 just been completed by the Forest Service, 

 United States Department of Agriculture. 



This sum, together with at least an 

 equal amount which must be supplied by 

 the states cooperating, is expended jointly 

 by Federal and state agencies in protecting 

 from fire forest lands at the headwaters 

 of navigable streams. The allotment is 

 made on the basis of timbered area and 

 cost of adequate protection. The Federal 

 expenditure in any state is restricted to 

 not over $24,000. 



According to the Forest Service, al- 

 though the money is insufficient to insure 

 adequate forest fire protection, it has in 

 connect'on with state funds enabled sub- 

 stantial progress to be made in that di- 

 rection. 



.Mlotments to the various states arf : 

 Maine, $24,000; New Hampshire, $8,425; 

 Vermont, $4.200 ; Massachusetts, $8,400 ; 

 Rhode Island, $625; Connecticut, $3,150; 

 New York, $24.000 ; New Jersey, $5,050 ;

GIANT TREE CENTURIES OLD 



The "Great Tree of Tule" in the state 

 of Oaxaca, after some 800 years of re- 

 corded existence, is beginning to show 

 signs of wear and tear, says the Newark 

 Evening Nnvs. This giant cypress, with 

 a trunk so huge that thirty persons with 

 outstretched arms can scarcely span it, is 

 known to have been a fair-sized tree when 

 Columbus discovered America, and history 

 recounts that Cortes and his Spanish sol- 

 diers slept beneath its branches four cen- 

 turies ago when en route to Honduras fol- 

 lowing their conquest of Mexico. 



But although time has dealt kindly with 

 the monarch, the correspondent during a 

 recent visit to the tiny village of Santa 

 Maria del Tule, Oaxaca, noticed that the 

 wrinkles of age are beginning to show. 

 There is no immediate cause for worry, 

 however, that Tule, as the Indians affec- 

 tionately call the tree, will wither away 

 before the present generation has passed 

 on. And even if it should, Tule has a son 

 some fifty yards away from the parental 

 boughs that is showing healthy signs of 

 maintaining the family honor in the mat- 



The Great Tree of Tule rises about 175 

 feet, and is said to be one of the largest 

 specimens in the world. The spread of its
