by the sea or among the hills. º
May the day be devoted to the planting and care of the trees, shrubs

essential to public health, to the protection of springs, streams and lakes,
and to the stability of our sandy coast.
Let insect enemies of shade tree and orchard be destroyed, let those
in authority free and protect roadside scenery from disfiguring signs, and
let every hand take part this day in planting new life, whether in the window
of the city home, or on the broad acres of the farm. s
May much be done this day not only to make nature fairer in the
eyes of this generation, but to transmit its beauties to those who are to
