any other woman In America. Some
OF them grow on the mile square
tract which the Henrys possess up In
tho Catskills. but most OF them grow
on other peoples land. Tree collect
ing is Mrs, Henry's fad. Whenever
she sees an especially fine tree she
goes TO the people on whose land II
stands and offers TO buy IT, Usually,
when the owners find that she wishes
neither TO cut down nor TO transfer
the tree, but only to feel that II is
hers they make her a present OF It.
Most OF her trees are named and all
OF them have their pictures taken and
filed away in an immense album.

other trees content themselves with
