i Naturfiés Children " White Oak (Quercus Alba). By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. REE lovers are especially fond of the queenly white oak. They are loud in their praises for the trees, no matter in what season they see them. It is one of the oaks to be found throughout most | of the Eastern half of the country and is easily recognized by its light colored bark. Where the white oak has found {tself in rich, well-drained soil it has been known to reach a height of 150 feet, with a diameter of between six and eight feet, and white oaks have been known to live to be 800 years | old. There are many beautiful white | oaks found in our woods. Where they are closed in and hedged about by neighbors, they grow tall and develop a narrow crown. This is adaptation. The leaves must reach up to the sunshine and the branches must be pruned off by the wind as the white oak goes higher for its life-giving rays. On the very old trees it is common to find the bark two inches thick. This, with its pale gray color and shallow fissures and scaly ridges, will give you a key for identification. In the summer the alternate growing leaves, from five to nine inches long, and narrow toward the s oblong in shape and broad tow: tip. This gives you the leaf identifi- | cation cue. In autumn they turn a glorious russet and hang on through | the winter, another key. Later on in the season, after the leaves have become quite dry, you may find the round smooth buds. They are clustered at the §ips of the twigs and er a magnifying glass give the im on 'of a closed fist Then in the early spring you will notice how th well, finally revealing ¢ By the itme they are about © grown, you will discover the s with their b 1 fr laden with po Close by, w the golden e the wind will sift m them from th male flower the close-fitting pis: tillate blossoms. In this spot during the sum: nd autumn the acorns will matu he white oak develops her seed children in one season and does not carry one of them on her branches during the winter. These nuts are shiny brown, about three- fourths of an inch long and seated one-fourth of their length in a hand- gome shallow saucer. Squirrels love these acorns and are responsible for the planting of millions of oak trees. They have a habit or perhaps it is intentional, of leaving some of their buried treasure in their earth pockets. Jolly Polly A Little Chat on English. BY JOS. J. FRISCH.
