English literature abounds 
in legends and mention of 
the rose. "The War of 
the Roses,'' one of the 
greatest military struggles 
of English history, was so 
called because the ¢on- 
tending parties had as 
their emblems white roses 
for the House of York and 
red roses for the House 
of Lancaster. 
It is said that the only 
two trees indigenous to 
North America and found 
in no other parts of the 
world were the Pecan of 
Texas and the Southwest, 
and the giant Redwood of 
the West Coast. 
* 
The apple is probably 
the most important fruit 
in’ North America, and 
probably the most impor- 
tant tree in the entire 
North Temperate Zone. 
* 
What shrubs are adopt- 
ed’for the shady side of 
the house? Red Tarta- 
tian Honeysuckle; Maho- 
nia; Snowberry: Coral 
Berry; Weigela roses: 
Hypericum or Goldflower: 
Abelia grandiflora. 
The red'sud and flower- 
ing dogwood trees are 
well adapted to growing 
in shady places.

"No tree in all the 
grove but has its charms, 
though each its hue pe- 
cuiar.''"—Cowper.
