Trees that every child should know : easy tree studies for all seasons of the year . lexible twigs which droopat the extremities of the branches. The domeof a white oak is made of angular limbs. Eventhe twigs are likely to be crooked. No one wouldconfuse the elm with an oak. Round-headed trees are many. Go from theapple tree in the orchard to the red and Norwaymaples along our streets. A great many treesfind this form best adapted to spreading theirleaves out towards the sun. Many oaks and ashtrees, the hickories and birches, and the beecheshave widely spreading limbs forming tops thatare oblong in shape. There are trees so irregu-lar in habits of growth that we shall neverknow them by their forms alone. The winter is the best time to study tree shapes,for then the framework is revealed. The trees tostudy are those which stand apart from others,so that they have been able to take their naturalshapes. These we shall find growing on thestreets, and in yards, and parks, and in openspaces in the woods. Where trees crowd eachother in growing, their branches chafe and clash.
