Shade and Flowering Trees 
In order to preserve and promulgate one of the chief scenic attractions of New England, it behooves all of 
us to plant trees. We owe it to ourselves and to future generations to plant these beautiful living memorials which 
will keep our memories alive far more vividly than anything else could do. The old Colonial custom of joyfully 
planting a tree at the birth of each child, and having the child’s progeny play among its branches, is one which 
is richly deserving of being revived.
