 The ID. A. R. Tree.
 Mrs. wyiy, the custodian for the AL abama tree, is aow iH Mobile visiting her son. MT. Henry Wyiy. but before l Montgomery she made arrange ments with MT. ". B. Paterson. of the Rosemont Gardens, that he send the l little trees propagated from the one in he Capitol grounds, to each chapter in time to reach them by February 22. l She trusts that the regents will re- ceive them in good order, and in time | for planting during the exercises of | that day. It may be we'll at this time to give l little sketch of this tree. for the bene- | fit of the younger chapters in the State. l On October Il, 1902. when the cor ner stone of the Continental Memorial Hall was laid. and when Mrs. Fair l banks. the then president general. lift | ed the first spadeful of earth, 1t was | proposed by Mrs. Lockwood that they l plant a tree in this historic dirt from | which each chapter might have a | shoot. This they did. and MT. Owen, of Washington, was requested to care | for the osage orange. which was se- fectej as this tree could be grown in | every State of the Union, and to have | ready as soon as possible the first thir- l teen for the original States. They in | turn to, send to other States where the | several chapters could be supplied, thus | reaching out to every branch of the | organization. typifying the growth and | the principles of the society. The writ CT was present at the Congress of 1904, when Mrs. Lockwood had brought up- | on the stage the thirteen little trees potted and ready for presentation to the thirteen original States. As Mas. received hers Mrs. Masury as State regent promised that Ala. bama should have the slip from their tree. This courtesy was most grace fully received by Alabama's regent Mrs. J. Morgan Smith But Aiabama | did not have to wait SO long-Mr. Owen mad more rooted from the original and | ln June was ready to send one to s,,.
