THE ARBOR DAY LADY 
AMERICA’S GREATEST ASSET 
The Youth of America must turn their 
undivided attention to the rehabilitation of 
her forest lands which here-to-fore has con¬ 
tributed so generously to the health, wealth 
and prosperity of our nation. 
Each one should, in turn, endeavor to 
encourage those about them to strive their 
utmost to save for the nation and posterity 
America’s greatest asset—TREES. 
AN AMERICAN ELM tree was planted 
in the Stacy Park, Trenton, New Jersey, 
April seventh, 1926, in honor of the two 
hundredth anniversary of the birth of George 
Washington and in memory of the Washing¬ 
ton Elm at Cambridge, Mass. 
The plans for this marking were put 
under way by President Coolidge and mem¬ 
bers of the American Tree Association, 
Washington, D. C., were called upon through¬ 
out the country to carry out the plans, that 
schools, young people’s clubs and women’s 
organizations may have a rallying point for 
their observant exercises in 1932.
