trunk of the tree mu^ be shielded from injury by 

 the wire, by placing a piece of rubber hose again^ 

 it before the wire is attached. 

 ^ And we know that they mu^ be well-watered 

 and well-mulched and that the Summer after they 

 have been planted they will respond gratefully to 

 a little additional care, in the matter of a light 

 mulch during the two drye^, hotted months, 

 July and Augu^. We can do this for our trees, 

 that for a century and more will give us beauty 

 and shade and lovely shadows. Can we not ?
