monument, the magnificent obelisk
back of the White House. Beneath
it's ancient branches Washington
seems to step out of the vague pages
of history into breathing reality 1t
is the only tree of the many that
he had planted that survives to-day;
a touch of nature that makes the
modern Washingtonian feel truly akin
to the Father of His Country
The Barbecue trees are two re
markably beautiful circular groves
just south of the Washington elm
They were planted during President
Jackson's administ ration for the bar
becue celebrations, one grove for the
use of the Democrats, the other for
the Wings Their quaint history does
not affect the children who play under
their shade nor the nurse maids who
roll their little charges beneath
them.
The tree planting fashion set by
Washington has been so generally fol
lowed by his successors that the
White House grounds are as green
as a forest with historic oaks and
eIms. Cleveland represents IL ex-
ception. He once said something
very blunt about the nonsense of tree
planting for the name of the thing -

President Harrison took double
chances of living forever in the
hearts of his countrymen by planting
two trees. His once famous grand
children, Baby Mckee and his smaller
sister, also dug holes and put in elm
saplings that are now tall and grace
full young trees.
