T HE Sorrel Tree. Some day this tree (Oxyden- 
dron Arboreum) will be known to everyone as 
it is now known to those fortunate ones who 
have already made its acquaintance. It rivals its fellow 
native, the Dogwood in interest; it surpasses it in a 
certain grace of texture. Its early foliage is a lyric note 
in the jubilant chorus of Spring. But it releases its 
greatest charms as the season advances. At mid-summer 
while its neighbors are resting or sulking in their tents, 
it decks itself in festal plumes of white, like sprays of 
Lily-of-the-Valley. These it holds and finally shakes 
them out like golden fringe against its shining Autumn 
cloak of richest red.
