"TWENTY CANADIAN TREES." 



Illustrated Booklet, Prepared and Distributed by the Association, 

 Meets With Widespread Demand, 



During the month of July, the 

 Canadian Forestry Association is- 

 sued a twenty-four page illustrated 

 booklet entitled : "Twenty Canadian 

 Trees," written by Mr. James Law- 

 ler, former Secretary of the Associa- 

 tion. Four thousand copies out of 

 a first edition of five thousand have 

 been sent to all parts of Canada in 

 response to an immediate demand. 

 The booklet met with so much ap- 

 preciation and elicited such kind 

 comments from newspapers, weekly 

 magazines, and individuals that sev- 

 eral editions could be disposed of, 

 Avere not the resources of the Asso- 

 ciation for this branch of work 

 limited. Requests have come from 

 barristers, school teachers, manu- 

 facturers, editors, and nearly every 

 other class of Canadians, as well as 

 from scores of school-children, for 

 one or more copies. An effort is 

 being made by the Association to 

 have the booklet given further cir- 

 culation b}' the co-operation of local 



school boards. A few excerpts from 

 the newspaper comments were as 

 follows : 



Hamilton Times : "The Canadian 

 Forestry Association, which is doing 

 a good work in preserving the forests 

 of Canada and promoting their ex- 

 tension, has just issued a booklet 

 giving a brief description, free from 

 technicalities, of our most common 

 and most important trees." The 

 Times' entire reference occupies a 

 column. 



Canadian Courier: "A copy slip- 

 ped into the pocket of a sport coat 

 and produced on a first vacation 

 ramble would supply considerable 

 instructive entertainment." 



Toronto Daily News : "A useful 

 little booklet . . written in simple 

 language . . . and there is a photo- 

 graph of each tree with a drawing 

 of its leaf. It will also be welcomed 

 by many adults Mdio wish to learn 

 how to distinguish the more impor- 

 tant Canadian trees."
