ABOUT EVERGREEN TREES.
IF YOU THINK THEY NEVER CHANGE

Whether the summer sojourner in the mountains
thinks of 1t not, the botanist knows that all
the tribe OF evergreen trees really have change
Of raiment at least every three years, though the
change is made so gradually as not to attract at
tention.
Though the change is not made often the white
pine Is frequently found with parts Of the branches
bearing needles of three years growth. while the
last years growths also TO be at the ends
OF the combs Needles the white pine grow in
clusters OF five; on the pitch pine they appear In
lhrees, and the latter drops It's needles sooner
than the white pine. Pitch pine cones grow two or
three together In n cluster and hang on the tree
and fall
Scotch and Austrian pines have only two needles
to cluster These trees. not being native to this
country, found only ornamental foliage In
parks and gardens The Norway spruce so gem
orally liked for Christmas trees has needles that
do not grow In cluJers. but slngly along the short
stems, and not more than an inch or two long
Their great virtue Is In being slow to fall; often
the needles hang on a growing tree for six or
seven years.
Not unlike the Norway spruce the black and
the white spruce though they have longer needles.
The red spruce has dark yellow tinge In its
green, and the twigs are heavier than In the two
other varieties
