HAVE YOU A LITTLE ABLES
OR PICEA ALBA AT HOME ?
t. Of p Boonsers in City Hall Mart Find Balsanea Is Real
Thing in Christmas Trees

Have you bought your abies balsa-
mca yet, or did you buy a piCea alba?
II you bought the abies you have the
real thing, the real Christmas tree.
That is one of the things the botany
class of the University of Pennsylvania,
which accompanied DR.. John Harsh
berger. professor Of botany, around City
Hall and Terminal Market learned on
4 bOtanizing expedition yesterday after
noon.
Christmas time offers the student
botanist opportunity to study plants
from all parts of the country without
leaving the city, Eight very interested
women followed DR.. Harshberger. Some
OF the passersby stopped to listen aud
even to ask questions.
Can you tell real Christmas tree
from a spruce tree? The real thing has
blisters on the trunk and its leaves are
growing in fiat arrangement, while
the spruce has no blisters and It's leaves
grow around the stem. Needles you
call them.
The two most common kinds Of
spruce sold for use as Christmas trees
IRE both popular and many prefer them
70 the old original tree, They are the
white spruce and the black spruce.

and Chip and Clipper Chipmuck. Out
In front Of the Hungry Crocodile's nose
dangled Sleepy Woodchuck, clinging. to

end by Jack and Janet. The Hungry
Crocodile, in trying to reach Sleepy
Woodchuck, cburncd along as fast as

II was n jolly ride. Jack and Janet
steercd the Hungry Crocodile just
where they wished, merely by swinging
Sleepy Woodchuck to one side or the
other.
After time they swept close to
shore. There Jack and Janet were
startled to see evil looking snakes.
"His-s-s! There are my cousins.
Good by. am going to spend the
winter with them" Black Snake
slipped of the back of the Hungry
Crocodile and Joined the serpents on
shore.
Soon the Crocodile came to swampy
place from which arose the song of
frogs.
81 am going to spend the winter with
my frog cousins" With flying leap
he was gone.
The others went along until they
came to high bank at the edge of
the desert. Sleepy Woodchuck sud
denly swung himself TO the shore.
Thanks for the ride :" he. cried to the
Hungry Crocodile.
Jack and Janet and Chip and Clipper

Sleepy Woodchuck vanished into the

Jack and Janet were dismayed. They
didn't want to stay there all winter

aloud in grief
And then Jack and Janet seemed to
