Hurricane havoc in residential streets of Springfield 
ot Shade and Sheitet . . . 
W HAT a heritage in Shade Trees our New England forefathers left us. Strange to say, it 
required a calamity to make us sufficiently tree conscious to appreciate our loss. 
Perhaps the worst feature of the 1938 hurricane was the uprooting and destruction of hun¬ 
dreds of thousands of shade and woodland trees. Buildings can be quickly repaired but it will require 
a century to replace the lost trees. 
The New England Council, realizing the seriousness of the situation, has requested the governor 
of each New England State to issue, next spring, a proclamation recommending that their people 
observe an Arbor Week. A systematic tree-planting campaign by individuals and communities will 
be necessary to restore our traditional New England villages and cool, shady highways. 
We believe we have the largest and finest supply of straight, shapely shade trees in New England. 
We invite you to inspect and select your shade-tree requirements at the Adams Nursery, Inc. 
Plant a tree this spring. It will increase the value of your home and make it a more enjoyable place 
to live in.
