When the trees feel the touch of spring, these thin-barked branches show a Hush of color, red, brown, \-ellow, etc., that produces a pleasing effect in the yet leafless forests. The branching of trees also is characteristic, nearly every species possessing its pe- culiar type or mode of branching. The spruces hold their branches hori- zontally and, the upper branches being younger and shorter, the whole tree has a tapering, coni- cal appearance. The soft maple has a short stem which soon di\'ides into several long main branches that make a rather small angle with each other, giving the whole tree a fan-like ef- fect. The hard maple with its numerous branches has a very different aspect. The elms have a very characteristic form due to the way in which the branches grow. The typical form is with several main spreading branches which droop somewhat at the ends, although there is another common form with more rounded crown and irregular branching. One ought to be able to distinguish the trees by the bark and mode of branching Fig. 154.
