Text Appearing Before Image:
THE WITCH HAZEL (Hamamelis Virginiana) The gold-thread blossoms appear with the ripening fruits in October and November. The 2-valved capsule flies openand explosively discharges the two seeds.

Text Appearing After Image:
The Witch Hazel and the Sweet Gum Valuable ornamental and shade trees. Lumber used for railroadties, paving blocks, shingles, fruit boxes, spools; choice piecesknown as satin walnut, used for veneering furniture and forinterior finishing of houses.

As a child, I lived in a state north ofthe range of the most intrepid liquidambar tree. I recall withgreat vividness an old ex-slaves description and eulogy of thetree, and the song he sang, full of the exaltation his dearly bough
