cially suited to the school grounds,
but never planted on Arbor Day, is
the flowering dogwood. The prairie
crab or native apple (Pyrus coro-

beautiful trees in blossom that can be
found anywhere. It thrives almost

In the way of shrubs—which ought to

and other sorts galore, some of which

These things ought to be on the
