campaign on flowers and trees, with particular emphasis on

subjwt their attention and posters have been made by them
,to encourage attention to trees and flowers.
Although not realized by the casual observer, remarkable
progress has been made in La Grande in flowers, trees', lawns
in the past few years. There has been a greatly increased
pride in property throughout the city and an abundance of
city water the last two seasons has encou raged home owners
to cultivate and enjoy the advantages of flowers and shrul
bery. It has not only made a more attractive city but has
added to property values and has increased individual appre
ciation for tho beautiful in nature.
Attention to trees is an especially worthy activity since
La Grande Is most lacking in tliat background for natural
beauty. In a land where timbered wealth and forest beauty
is the most noted characteristic, it is particularly unfortun-'
ate that the growing of trees in home yards has not had
more attention, that those which we already possess have
been given so little expert attention.
Contrary to the old imprcsslun locally, tree authorities say
there is nothing in the climate or wind velocity of this valley
to prevent the successful home cultivation of beautiful shade
trees of almost all common varieties. Topping and pruning
trees as it is piacticcd here frequently is not necessary and
spoiV. n otherwise sharpy and b. mtiful growth. Thinning,

As a community we cannot undertake a more important
work of city beaulil'icalion than giving attention to planting
more trees and giving exert care to those wo now have.
