Dear Children:
want you to study the trees
well this summer for we are going
to have a contest this fall. 1t will
be about trees and so I am giving
you this tip ahead Of time.
See how they grow, what value
they are for shade, study their bark,
notice whether they seem healthy,

if you loved them.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
