Trees that every child should know : easy tree studies for all seasons of the year . mbs are clothed with green. This crown ismade of long, pointed leaves, each short-stemmed,strongly ribbed, with parallel veins on each sideof the midrib, polished and sharp-toothed alongits margin. It is a superb dome of unusuallyhandsome leaves. When the flower procession is long past andthe grain fields have turned yellow, and themower and reaper are humming busily, the chest-nuts crown turns from green to gold, as if toharmonise with the landscape of twig ends in a feathery yellow plume, whichwaves in the breezes, and sheds its yellow pollenabroad. The fertile flowers are at the base ofthe plume. As the yellow pollen flowers fade,the green scaly ones below them are are the young chestnuts. The long tongueeach held out to catch pollen when it was readyfor use. Each flower has three nuts as its fullquota to form. Failure to be pollenated maycause one of the three to fail. The husk willthen contain two nuts. In May the yellow locust trees still stand along.
