Trees have also made arrangements for their great exhibition of tree.pictures at Grosvenor House from November 1st for a month. Over thirty countries are exhibiting pictures which represent so far as may be national scenes of which trees or a tree are the distinction. A good many are coming from oversea Britain, and it is my experi- ence that both Canadian and Australian artists peculiarly excel in pictures of tree architecture. Two pictures, one of a Jack pine, one of a weeping blue gum, remain very vividly in the memory. Lord Allenby, a great tree lover, will open the exhibition, and special ceremonies will be opened by ambassadors of various countries, including Sweden and France. Entrance to the exhibition will be free, by invitation, which may be obtained from the Secretary, Grosvenor House, Park Lane, W.
