Someone Planted Trees You Enjoy
SOME EARLY AMERICAN, perhaps one of your relatives,
helped to plant the trees you now enjoy. W herever one sees
along the streets or in yards, beautiful trees, hedges, flowering
shrubs and fruit trees someone has planted them , says the A m er
ican Association of Nurserym en.
"P la n t today , for tom orrow ” is the slogan of m any groups
interested in m aking our cities and towns m ore beautiful, includ
ing various garden clubs and civic organizations. In some cities
y e a rs ago, people started out with an idea like planting lilacs in
Rochester, New' York, maples and elm trees in m any tow’ns, as
well as other trees like magnolias, that grow all through the
south There is a great splurge today to have towns known for
some particular tree or shrub. M organtown. W est Virginia, for
instance, this year is planting the city w ith dogwoods. Cities
fam ed for roses, such as Portland, Oregon, Pasadena. California,
and many sim ilar cities cam e from an idea of those interested in
th e fu tu re beauty of the comm unity.
Pecan trees have been planted in m any localities in Texas.
The famed oleanders and hibiscus of Florida, the Royal palms,
all w ere planted. Mobile, Alabama, and Charlestow n, South C a r
olina, are famed for azaleas, camellias, live oaks and o th er plants.
Many private home properties have beautiful specimens of
tre e s and shrubs, all planted by someone who w anted the beauty
of natu re around his home. Many homes have a fruit or nut
tre e in the yard to give enjoym ent to the family, especially the
youngsters.
All of these plants now enjoyed were planted by someone who,
perhaps forgotten now, has left his m ark on the world for suc
ceeding generations to enjoy.
It would he a dreary world indeed if no one ever planted o rn a
m ental trees and shrubs o u r cities, our home properties might
be habitable, hut they would never be liveabzle.
A num ber of planting custom s have grown up in the past,
possibly by some ancestors who saw the decrease of ornam ental
planting with the increase in (>opulation. One of these custom s
is for each couple, when they buy a home, to plant for husband
and wife two lovely trees or shrubs at the e n tra n ce of the prop
erty . or beside the doorstep, as a symbol of perm anence and
everlasting love. A nother custom was to plant a tret' as a p e r
m anent rem inder for each newborn child. G reat attachm ent was
form ed for these trees and shrubs.
Perhaps these custom s should be revived, in order to help
keep our properties green and beautiful. You can be certain,
except in the forests, that most of the welcome shade, the a t
tractiv e foliage, the beautiful flowers or delicious fruit comes
from trees that were planted by somebody. And the more this
generation plants, the more succeeding generations will enjoy
th eir home properties, their cities and towns, as well as America.
