THE TREES THAT DIED.
[To The Editor Stratford Post.] Sir,—l was almost moved to tears when I learnt from your columns that Mr Percy Thomson, vice-President of the Stratford Beautifying Society, had held an inquest on the trees planted by Mr Kirkwood, and had found as a verdict that twenty-six were actually and really dead and the other ten in the last stages of their earthly existence. Truely they died young; a few short months and alas! No more. Why did not Mr Kirkwood listen to the voice of Mr Percy Thomson, vicePresident of the Stratford Beautifying Society, and leave l them In their old home, and as a last consolation Mr Thomson says anyhow their graves will do for the next lot. Poor trees : the Beautifying Society are your gravediggers.—l am, etc., BOTANIST.
