lowers Appear in Trees Before They
Bloom on the Ground, Dr. Pool Says
That spring has actually arrived
on Nebraska's campus in the form
of not only unusually warm
weather but flowers as well, was
pointed out by Dr. R. J. Pool, head
of the botany department, yester
day. According to Dr. Pool, some
of our best known trees have al
ready flowered.
"The flowers of the trees about
the campus ore just as beautiful
and interesting as those on a gar
den plant," said Dr. Pool, "but
they are hardly noticed because of
their inconspicuousness. Neverthe
less, their colors are as bright as
any cultivated tulip. In fact, if
they were enlarged to tulip size,
we would certainly notice them
sooner and become better ac
quainted with our familiar trees as
a consequence.
Elms, Maples First.
The elms and maples are usu
ally the earliest trees to bloom
here," continued Dr. PooL "The
common American silver maple

of bright red and yellow color.
People are not aware of their
Vooming until the familiar 'husks'
are found scattered over the
ground. . These particular trees
were very ez-rly in flowering this
year, due to the unusually warm
winter and spring.'
"In the case of our other trees,
the cottonwood is about the most
common variety. It produces its
flowers before the leaves . are
formed In long, purple and silvery
catkins,' and . the cottony seeds,
floating through the air, are a fa

of the latter are very Inconspicu

for purely ornamental purposes, as
far as the flowers are concerned.
One variety, however, the mag
nolia, is grown for this reason. One
may see a magnolia near the
greenhouse on the city campus and
there are many throughout Lin

long before the leaves are on the

By BILL SPEAR.
Fred Christensen, graduate stu
dent of the university has prob
ably the largest individual li
brary of any person registered at
Nebraska. The walls of his small
room are completely covered with
took shelves groaning under the
weight of some five hundred
volumes, ranging in value from
II to $175. Mr. Christensen esti
mates his library as an invest
ment of approximately $2,000.
Among his more valuable books
are "Sketches, New and Old," by
Mark Twain. This book is a
first edition and believed to be
worth $175. Other valuable first
editions are: "The Epicurean" by
Thomas More and "Captain
Stormfelt's Visit To Heaven," by
Mark Twain.
"I also have some tcr?: of n.
more unique character that are
quite hard to obtain at the pres
ent time," remarked Mr. Christ
ensen as he dragged ' a heavily
bound volume from a hlt-h shelf.
tThls is "The Miracles of) 3L
Catherine,' of a limited edition
printed from medieval manu
scripts and quite valuable. I also
have others of a like character."
Abhors Text Books.
When asked if many cf his
books were text books he re
garded the reporter with a pained
expression and replied,'""! have
a positive abhorrence for text
books and would not buy--n-if
I could possibly help 1L'.'.
Mr. Christensen'a favorite au
thora are, Mark Twain, Anatol
France and Charles Dickens. T&ts
seems to be substantiated by !)
large number of these autifoFi
works.
"I seldom keep the same backs
for a very long time." remarked
Christensen as he Idly thumbed
the yellow leaves of a musty. edi
tion. "This may be attributed to
a polygamous Instinct." 'That is,
in books," he hastened to qualify,
"Out with the old. and In with,
