192 DECIDUOUS TREES 



There are many ancient trees in Britain that seem thoroughly 

 at home, but they were originally foreigners, e. g., chestnuts, 

 linden, larch, Norway spruce, and service tree. But practically 

 all came from a related climate that of Europe. A thousand 

 years from now many foreign trees will be naturalized in America, 

 and practically all will be from the Far East. But America will 

 never "find herself" until her own trees are everywhere in the majority*
