O you know the honey locust tree? Have you ever 

 seen a small plantation, or a colony, or group of 

 them, with their palest of pink blooms so like minia- 

 ture lanterns, swaying with the softest breeze? Do 

 you recall their foliage so unusual, so like the tropi- 

 cal Acacia, and have you been enchanted with the 

 perfume of their floral lanterns? I hope so, it is something never to 

 be forgotten. Nor does one readily forget the glow and brilliancy 

 of the American Mountain Ash or the commanding symmetry of 

 the Tulip Tree. There is a noteworthy specimen of Tulip Tree 

 growing at "Deepdale," Long Island, which dominates the whole 

 countryside there; and at "Deepdale" there are also splendid ex- 

 amples of the Maidenhair Tree (Gingko) resembling nothing so 

 much as a Maidenhair Fern grown tall and wide and imposing. 

 Of course we all know the Scarlet Maple Tree (Smiling Tree) 

 but do we appreciate its possibilities? Do we realize its early 

 Spring beauty as well as its Summer charm and its Autumn glory? 

 A simple tree giving so abundantly of richness, a wealth of color 

 and glowingness. We hear so much of Schwedler's Norway Maple,
