UNDERWOOD SPRING.
The Forest by the Sea, which encloses
um brageous Underwood, affords a su-
perb opportunity for thesstudy of the more
common North American trees, a be-
wildering variety OF which will disclose
themselves to the patient observer. Here
can be found almost every forest and
wayside tree which grows in Maine and
some that are not common in this state,
Among those which may. be seen in a
single visit to Underwood are alder, np-
pie ash. balm of gilead. Dsech tirch,
(white, gray and yellow) cedar, cherry,
chestnut, dogwood elm, fir hazel, hem
lock, hornbeam, horse chestnut, juniper,
lilac, locust, maple. frock white and
sugar); oak. (red ana white); pear, pine,
plum, poplar, spruce, surmac, syringe,
willow. These are not all the trees at
Underwood and its Immediate vicinity.
Probably an expert student could dis
cover several varieties and sub-yarietiss
which would not attract the attention of
the inexperienced seeker. A short and
beautiful ride takes one to this forest,
and once there the opportunities FOR na.
ture study will be found in manifold
measure. Cool Ser tember is the finest
month in the year for ramble in the
woods
