A TREE. [_Page 47._


1. There are many kinds of trees. The oak, elm, and beech are very
common.

2. Trees have roots, trunks, branches, leaves, and often flowers and
fruit. The brown covering of the trunk is called bark. This keeps the
tree warm and dry.

3. Their leaves fall off in autumn, except those of evergreens like the
holly and the laurel.

4. Trees are both beautiful and useful. They provide us with timber and
firewood, and give shade and shelter to our houses and gardens.
