ROBERTS, Director. Evergreens, and How They Shed Their Leaves. BY H. p. GOULD. ONE-BEARING evergreens are familiar to everyone ; yet this familiarity is usually with the trees as entire objects. We do not often stop to analyze a tree in order to find out what gives it its characteristic appearance or to see what makes it look as it does. We will often find, if we stop to look, that much of the character of a tree,—that is,its general appearance or the way in which it impresses us,—is due to the leaves and to their arrangement on the branches. This is true of many of the evergreen Note to the teacher.—This leaflet has two particular objects : to teach how evergreens shed their leaves, and to enable you to distinguish a few of the evergreens which are most commonly met. These studies (and those sug- gested in Leaflet No. 12) should be the means of adding much cheer to the winter. Encourage pupils to make collections of cones, to observe when they shed their seeds,and how long (how many seasons) they remain attached to the branch. Remember that mere identification of the kinds of trees is not the highest type of nature-study. Cones are good subjects for free-hand drawing. Beginners should draw them in outline, omitting the shading. Encourage pupils to draw single leaf- clusters of the different pines, cautioning them to get the right number of leaves in each Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
