A gentleman of Americas has an
apple tree which, owing to the un>
precedentedly warm fall, has bIos-
somed and now contains a full sup

now filled with green cherries.
AS November is conceded to bs
the beat season for setting out treep,
il should De remembered that trees
in a city are healthy. They take
the carbonic acid thrown out in the
breaths of men and animals, sepa-
rate it into it's component parts, car
bon and oxygen, give back the lat"
ter to be used over again, and work
off the former into wool, leaves and
fruit The roots of trees purify
water and make it drinkable thus
the more trees we have the better
the water. 1t is a useful fact to
know also that certain species plant
ed in malarious localities help to
render the latter healthy by using
up the deadly miasma. Such trees
continue to leaf until killed by frost,
for so long as thesleaves have no alb
sorbing and emitting power the cor
bonic acid in the air is used up by
the tree. 1t is we'll, therefore, to
plant trees that will keep green with
growing vitality in them until kill
ed by frost.
