by neighbors, they grow tall and
develop a narrow crown. This is
adaptation. The leaves must reach
UP to the sunshine and the branches
must be pruned off by the wind as
the white oak goes higher for its
life-giving rays.
On the very old trees it is common
to find the bark two inches thick.
This, with its pale gray color and
shallow fissures and scaly ridges, will
give you a key for Identification.
In the summer the alternate growing
leaves, from five to nine inches long,
and narrow toward the stem, are
oblong in shape and broad toward the
tip. This gives you the leaf identifi-
cation cue. In autumn they turn a
glorious russet and hang on through
the winter, another key.
Later on in the season, after the
leaves have become quite dry, you
may find the round smooth buds.
They are clustered at the tips of the
twigs and under magnifying glass
give the impression of closed fist.
Then in the early spring you will
notice how the leaf buds swell, finally
revealing rosy tinted leaves. BY the
time they are about one-third grown,
you will discover the staminate flowers
with their beautiful fringed catkins,
laden with pollen.
Close by, where the wind will sift
the golden dust upon them from the
male flowers, are the closefitting piS-
tillate blossoms. In this spot during
the summer and autumn the acorns
will mature The white oak develops
her seed children in one season and
does not carry one of them on her
branches during the winter. These
nuts are shiny brown, about three
fourths of an inch long and seated
one-fourth of their length in a hand
some shallow saucer.
Squirrels love these acorns and are
responsible for the planting Of millions
of oak trees. They have habit or
perhaps it is intentional, of leaving
some of their buried treasure in their
earth pockets.
Evening star., 1937-10-28
Natures Children

The wood of the oak is in demand
for many purposes. 1t is uniform in
strength, has narrow annual rings,
and is durable rs well as attractive
Cabinet workers make it into hand
some furniture and also use it for
veneer work and interior trim. Floors.
railroad ties, barrels, bridges, ships
and other building purposes use up
thousands of board feet of the white
oak
For thousands of years the squirrels
have been the only planters of white
oaks. We are beginning to. realize
what faithful friend we have been
neglecting. 1t is tree that looks we'll
on our lawn, can withstand cruel heat
and the dust of cities. We need more
of them, for their beauty is appreciated
by every one.
