Effect of Change in s'lIrJ'OlIllIlIngs.- A change In the snrrotutdings of a tree always modifies Its habit of growth.

Nor Is forum the only variable characlOl' On the western elm the leaves are fewer in number , smaller , thlclwr , and ( much rougher than on the New England tree In other parts of time tree there arc differences . the salllo kind , though they are not so noticeable liS those in the form and foliage. These variations . tlons have resulted from the differences - ences In soil and climatic conditions to which the tree has been subjected. Gradual Clmange. = ncc difference In form between two trees of the same kind In different localities has come about through gradual divergence of characteristics. 1'0 a certain degree changes of this kind can bo brought about in practice. When a gradual change Is made in the surroundings of a tree a cOrrefJllOluling change takes place In the tree Itself , 'Phus If stock of time New England elm be slowly moved westward through many generations ' orations , it will gradually change In form amid outer characteristica ; to he like the western tree : and It must he assumed that this change Is necessary sal'Y to enable It to live under Its new condItions.
