DECIDUOUS TREES 



It is almost natural for us to look upon Deciduous Trees as the "calendars" of our existence; the swelling 

 buds and dainty green shoots telling us that winter's cold reign is over and that summer is on the way — and 

 the fading colors of the leaves as thej' fall reminding us that snow is again near at hand . 



Deciduous, or leaf-shedding trees, occupy a place all their own: in full leaf during the summer months, they 

 are w^onderful monuments of silent grandeur, and for the real tree lover they lose none of their charm even in 

 the depths of winter, when the last leaf has left the stark boughs, for Nature's grace is still there in all its fulness — 

 a promise of added beauty yet to come with the new springtime. 



A judicious planting of Decidous Trees serves a highly practical purpose also. Windbreaks and woodlots 

 should have their place on every farm, and as good timber becomes more scarce and costly, the planting of trees 

 for that purpose will occup3^ a larger place in the consideration of land-owners.
