Mr.. Aaron Weinberg has in his flower
yard some curiosities in the nature of trop-
ical trees and shrubbery. He has cork, O
rubber, and several camphor trees, all OF
which are growing beautifully. The cork
tree is about twenty feet high, and IS not
alone curiosity, but is also valuable. The
rubber tree is just beginning to grow, and
is pliable to the touch just like piece OF
india rubber. The camphor trees are be-
ginning to branch out, and are bearing
smooth leaves, light green in color. These
trees when grown will be very pretty and will
give good shade as well as being ornament
al. He also has an almond tree in bloom.
Mr.. Weinberg takes considerable interest
in his beautiful front yard, and is not afraid
to make investments for the beautifying OF
his premises. He claims, and rightly SO,
that every dollar spent in improving ones
home is that much added to the monetary
value of the property, and greater value is
added by making the home so attractive
that the children will feel that there is nc
place like home.
