Deciduous t>ees. 
L OVERS of the beautiful in nature, mostly feel a 
reverence for her stately trees. They are the 
higher forms of vegtation, many of them devel¬ 
oping into majestic proportions, their great trunk and 
arching limbs supporting a wealth of delicate foliage, 
every line a line of grace and beauty. What a refin¬ 
ing pleasure to be so situated that one can be sur¬ 
rounded by these noble expressions of nature, and 
what a study for one in observing, from day to day 
and year to year, the little sapling, seemingly no dif¬ 
ferent from many other surrounding forms, slowly 
and surely gaining in size and development, until 
finally it reaches the grand proportions that makes it 
the monarch.
