Make Your Town Famous for Trees.

Every town and village should
have some civic league or town i'm
provement society, interesting itself
in beautifying that town. And to
this end We again urge the wisdom
of making Southern towns famous
for Southern trees, shrubs and flow
ers, instead of growing varieties that
flourish just as we'll or better in the
North.
Grape myrtles, magnolias, live
oaks, mimosas are trees of
rare beauty which the Lord has Civ
en- to us in the South as our peculiar
heritage, and which travellers cannot
find in other sections. Let's utilize
them, therefore, along with the pc
can and long-leaf pine, two other
distinctive Southern trees.
The Grape myrtle affords more
glory of blossom the whole summer
long than any other shrub or tree,
and we hope our town readers will
join in helping make the South
famous as The Land of the Crepe
Myrtle.'' Wouldn't it be worth while
to make your town famous for its:
crepe myrtles just as Tokyo is ia
nous for it's wisteria and cherry
blossoms, Charleston for its magno-
liza gardens, and as Jericho of old
was called THE City of Palm Trees?"
Let's pick few distinctive South
ern trees and then make our town
famous for them.-The Progressive
Farmer.
