EV AE INS ErGeae NI 
TREES 
HOSE of us who pass most of our lives in the 
temperate regions of our land are fortunate in 
the fact that we can experience the influence and 
enjoy the beauty of Evergreen Trees. Wonderful are 
the mantles of beauty they spread out for us. There 
are the peculiar beauties of the Scrub Pine woods of 
New Jersey; of the stately groves of Hemlock on our 
eastern hills; of the magic depths of New Hampshire 
White Pine forests; of the marshaled ranks of Douglas 
Fir breasting the slopes of the Sierras to stem the 
attack of snow and ice and wind. 
Our climate will permit the soft, exotic beauty of 
Japanese and Chinese species and many from the Old 
World whose stories are as old as recorded history. 
We may not know their life histories, we may be 
ignorant of their economic values, but we do know 
that in our wide landscapes and in our intimate home- 
lands they bring to us a great refreshment and a belief 
in the dependable solidity of the natural world.
