Trees in spring
Sir. — It is a great thing! to keep up with nature.' Trees grow old, as we grow old, but spring and what it does to things never grows old. A walk, or even a car or bus ride round the suburbs at this time of year can be a real tonic .in the midst of wars and rumours of wars. The Botanic Gardens are a source of relaxation and delight. Not all the English trees are as quick coming into leaf as the weeping willows, which have no sooner lost their old leaves than they have their new ones. What balm it is to walk amongst the trees, noting the condition of the leaf and flower bud from week to week. We do a lot of wonderful things, but only God can make a tree. — Yours, etc., CECILIA FISON. September 30, 1975.
