Practical Orcharding On Rough Lands. 1 3 1 



What does he plant who plants a tree? 



He plants cool shade and tender rain, 

 And seed and bud of days to be, 



And years that fade and flush again; 



He plants the glory of the plain ; 



He plants the forest's heritage; 



The harvest of the coming age; 

 The joy that unborn eyes shall see — 

 These things he plants who plants a tree. 



What does he plant who plants a tree? 



He plants, in sap and leaves and ^vood, 

 In love of home and loyalty, 



And far-cast thought of civil good — 



His blessing on the neighborhood 



Who in the hollow of his hand 



Holds all the growth of all our land — 

 A nation's growth from sea to sea 

 Stirs in his heart who plants a tree."
