Synopsis
Excerpt from Arbor Day: Its History and Observance
Sir: I have the honor to submit the accompanying bulletin on Arbor Day, prepared by your direction.
Its aim is to give an authentic account of the origin, history, and uses of the day - now observed throughout our country and also in other lands - which has been regarded with interest by the Department ever since its observance began, and to offer such suggestions and helps as may serve to increase its usefulness.
It is impossible to sketch the history of Arbor Day in even the briefest manner without frequent reference to the present Secretary of the Department, with whom the day is so intimately connected. If the writer of this bulletin had felt at liberty to disregard the restraints imposed by the official character of the work, a much more frequent mention of Mr. Morton's name would have been the result.
Some of the illustrations in the bulletin, especially those of leaves, are from Apgar's Trees of the Northern United States, copyright, 1892, by the American Book Company, to whom thanks are due for permission to use them, it having been found impracticable to prepare original figures of this character without delaying the bulletin until after the arrival of the time set apart in many States for the observance of Arbor Day. Similar thanks are due to others also for like favors.
I take occasion here also to thank the superintendents of public instruction and others who have so readily and courteously responded to my invitation and rendered aid, by suggestion or otherwise, in the preparation of this publication. Wherever material from such or other sources has been incorporated in these pages I have endeavored to give credit to the respective authors. For the rest the writer is responsible.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of Arbor Day, a holiday dedicated to planting trees. This annual tradition started in Nebraska in 1872, when the state's board of agriculture designated a day for planting trees and raised awareness about the importance of conservation. Arbor Day was later adopted by other states and became a national holiday in the 1970s. Today, Arbor Day is celebrated in schools and communities across the country, where people of all ages come together to plant trees and learn about the environment. The author examines the environmental, economic, and social benefits of trees, and provides a wealth of information on tree care and planting techniques.
