KNOW THE TREES 



BY AUSTIN C. APGAR 



ARBOR DAY, when in all the schools we are talk- 

 ing and singing about the beauties of nature in all 

 her forms, and especially about the grandeur, the 

 stateliness, and the usefulness of the trees, is a good 

 time for us to resolve to know the different kinds of 

 trees in our neighborhood. No one can appreciate 

 much without knowing much. First, we must know 

 trees by name, and, gradually, we will learn to know 

 many interesting things about each in regard to the 

 time when the buds burst in the spring, when the 

 blossoms are to be found, when the fruit is ripe, 

 when the leaves fall, all the changes in color of foliage 

 that take place during the year, and many other 

 characteristics. "The day we first know a tree by 

 name will be the day when our interest and enjoy- 

 ment in that tree will begin."
