But as there is likely to be a thaw we reiterate our, desire for more trees, preferably white oaks, coffee bean, another hick- ory or two, and a few wateroaks or blackoaks.

We make the following statement at this time lest some of the tags onould blow off, and in order to show what kit®® of trees we already have: 3eginning at the northeast corner of the square, running west from the flagpole, the trees are as follows: No. 1 is an elm from Grand River L.
