CANADA’S CHRISTMAS TREES
Last Christmas Canada exported it is estimated, firs and spruces to the value of something lilve £62,000, the New York market alone taking 750,000 trees. Roughly, 4,000,000 trees are cut in the Dominion to satisfy the Christmas demand. The figure comprises mostly young firs, or spruce, about 10 feet in height. When these species are not available, cedar, hemlock, juniper, and pine of tender growth are sent to gladden the hearts of thousands of folk, both old and young. The growing of Christmas trees, indeed, qffords a profitable side-line for the farmer in some districts. There is a ready market for them in every town and village.
