KEYSTONE CLIPS Now you'll know what kind of tree that is

Did you ever wonder what that strange looking tree at the end of your street might be? The National Arbor Day Foundation is ready to give you the answer. The organization is making "What Tree is That?," a pocket guide for identifying trees, available to the public at $3 each. The 72-page guide offers help in identifying 135 trees in the eastern and central United States. You'll find the usual oaks, maples and pines, but you'll also find horse chestnut, sassafras, persimmon and pawpaw trees in the guide, which offers dozens of drawings illustrating leaves, berries, seed pods and other identifying features. It could be a real help for those elementary school leaf collection projects. To obtain a guide, send your name and address and $3 to "What Tree Is That?", The National Arbor Day Foundation, Nebraska City, NE, 68410, or order it online at arborday.org.
