ON TREES AND BIRDS. 



69 



This is one of the most fascinating things about 

 the care of trees ; they respond to your wishes. You 

 can form the head high or low, cut off one side and 

 have a "split cone," and, with some of the ever- 

 greens, make animals or birds out of them. But the 

 point we want you to study, here', is the types of trees 

 and their strength or weakness. There is no need, 

 in the future, of being afflicted with the "crotched 

 tree."
