a 
Trees, especially, have a character that is instantly imparted to the homestead over which they 
stand guard. They are a real part of a home—the cheapest part, and so almost ‘universally neg- 
lected. A tree requires no repairs; neither paint nor plumbing can improve it. No insurance is 
needed—no wages demanded for its services. It feeds, clothes, and houses itself. 
Trees are beautiful as well as useful too. Winter or summer their infinite variety commands 
our reverence, and their smile is one of peace. A tree is never in any hurry, though its upward 
growth defies the most powerful Natural law.
