. Our native trees and how to identify them; a popular study of their habits and their peculiarities. Trees. BIRCH FAMILY grown are dull dark green above, pale yellow green below ; midrib yellow, primary veins indistinct alDove but conspicuous and hairy below. In autumn they turn a clear bright yel- low. Petioles stout, hairy, deeply grooved above. Stipules ovate, pale green or nearly white, caducous. Flowers. — April, before the leaves. Stami- nate catkins form in late summer, during winter are three-fourths of an inch long. When the flowers open the catkins become three to four inches long, and in general appearance become bright yellow due to the abundant anthers. Scales ovate, bright red brown above the mid- dle, pale brown below. Pistillate catkins from one-half to three-fourths of an inch long, scales ovate, pale green; styles e.xserted, slender, pale pink. Fruit.—Strobiles oblong-ovoid, smooth, ses- sile, erect, one to one and one-half inches long, one-half an inch thick. Scales smooth, with rounded or acute lat- eral lobes. Nut obovate, pointed at base, about as broad as its wing.
