CHARACTER OF BROADLEAF FORESTS 
and flowering dogwood, the latter’s 
red berries in fall, the brilliant fruit 
of the mountain ash, the perfect flowers 
of the magnolias, the heavily clus- 
tered locusts, honey locusts, and black 
cherries, and the basswoods with 
fragrant little creamy flowers, alike 
do their part in lending character to 
the forest wherever they may have 
their range. 
Then, in addition to the beauty 
that appeals to us through the outward 
senses, there is a quality in the forests 
that is dear to us through an inward 
sense. It is the influence of a temper- 
ament that seems to belong to the place 
itself: the pure and health-giving atmo- 
sphere, the quiet and rest that binds up 
the wounded spirit and brings peace 
to the troubled mind.
