Black Spruce
: Pica mariana) !,

The oval cones are from one-half
to one and one-half inches long and
pendent, the scale@ entire and thin.
The flowers are cone e-shape, none
cious and solitary, being axiliary.
They are to small to attract your
attention when they are in bloom.
Here Is where the cones will be
found later.
While the black spruce has been
passed by for ornamental purposes,
because Of its lack Of beauty and
unkemptness, 1t Is tree that serves
mankind in an educational way,
through its wood being converted
into paper, and today the demand
is greater, than ever, as thousands
Of acres Of these trees are needed

courage us to 60 on.
The black spruce is pyramidal
evergreen, with short, dropping
branches. It rarely grows to be
higher than 40 feet, though some
Of the giants among them have
reached a height of 80.
The preferred habitats are the dry
lowlands and rocky slopes and bogs
which are to be found from Labra-
dor to Alaska, south to Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia.
The bark on the trunk Is thin and
scaly and of brownish gray color.
The twigs are downy. The ovate
buds are red and downy on their
surface. The blue-green leaves have
pale bloom above. They are set
around the twig. They are from
one-fourth to three-fourths OF an
inch in length, linear, sharp and
stiff.

-Four New Names
| Suggested for
| Roosevelt Forest
BY the Associated Press,


STRATFORD. Conn, Jan. IA
special committee of this old Re-
publican town has recommended
four names for the rechristening of
a public park now known as Roose-
welt Forest.
A bitter political battle followed
recent action of the Council in
appointing the committee to change
the name of the park-partly de-
veloped with p w. A. funds-to one
more suitable for a Republican
town" =
The names recommended were
Samuel johnson Park, after a local
signer of the Constitution: Paugusset
Park, after an old Indian trail;
Putney Park. for the section in
which it is located, and Castle Rock
Park.
Democrats termed the move a
SLAP in the face for the President
and Republicans replied that "if the
Democrats could change the name
of Hoover Dam to Boulder Dam -"
then there is no reason why we
should not be able to change the
name of our park to something
more in keeping with the town"
1t has been established, however,
that the forest was named after the
Republican Theodore Roosevelt and
not Franklin D. Roosevelt.
