OUTDOORS
CHRISTMAS TREES
With December, public .interest
turns toward the Christmas tree,
symbol of happiness and bearer of
gifts.
A great many pretty customs have
grown up in association with the
tree, one of which used to be going
to the bush, selecting and cutting the
tree. This particular custom has had
to give way in the face of increased
population pressures, because very
few people own a bush from which
they may cut a tree, and those who
do own bushes resent strongly the
theft of a tree—resent it to the point
that they will haul the thief into
court where the magistrate may levy
fine and costs amounting to forty dol
lars a tree. Such costs take the pleas
ure out of that ancient custom.
Most of the Christmas trees on the
market are especially produced by
growers for the purpose. The buyers
usually prefer scotch pine because
they retain their needles and grow
to commercial size in six to nine
years.. If these trees are pruned and
kept free of insects, they will pro
duce a tree of desirable conical form,
with dense foliage and beautiful
colour. Uncared for, the scotch pine
may become a monstrosity, useless
either for Christmas trees or timber.
Growers have a definite obligation to
protect and prune their produce and
to keep the poor quality material
from giving the product a bad name.
Defects include crooked stems,
double leaders, lopsided trees, insuf
ficient branches and foliage, dead,
bare or diseased branches, poor form,
including large gaps between the
branches, and yellow-colored needles.
No standards for Christmas trees
have been set up, but it would seem
that no one selling trees with such
