Ten free trees offered by foundation
Ten free shade trees will be given to each person who joins The Naitonal
Arbor Day Foundation's campaign to encourage tree planting to commemorate
the new millennium.
The ten shade trees are Red Oak, Sugar Maple, Weeping Willow, Green
Ash, Thornless Honeylocust, Pin Oak, River Birch, Tuliptree, Silver Maple
and Red Maple.
"These trees were selected to provide shade and beauty, and a variety
of forms, leaf shapes, and beautiful fall colors," John Rosenow, the Foundation's
president, said.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting in
April or May with enclosed planting instructions. The six to 12 inch trees
are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.
To become a member of the foundation and receive the free trees, send
a $10 contribution to Ten Free Shade Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation,
100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by April 30.
