CHAPTER XXIX 



PLANTING TREES 

 [November] 



<TTEY!" called Mr. Trommel, as he spied the 

 -*-- *- president of the Horticultural Club on her way 

 home from school. He was leaning over his gate. 



The president diverted her steps at once. "Wait 

 a minute," she called back to her companion, as she 

 crossed the street. 



"I set out two or three trees," said Mr. Trommel ; 

 "you want to see how I do it?" 



"Oh, yes!" said Mary, promptly. "Can Haddie 

 come too ? " 



Mr. Trommel looked across the street at the boy, 

 and hesitated a moment. "Yes, let him come. He 

 is a good lad." 



"Come on, Haddie," she called to her waiting 

 comrade ; " we are going to plant trees ! "
