While over 300 school children looked on, officials planted the first of a mass planting of Redbud trees at Rosemont Park in Fort Worth, Texas. Shoveling the dirt on the first planting is Mrs. H. A. Griffin, right, president of South Side Garden Club. Holding the tree is D. D. Obert, center, city forester. Watching the ceremony is Mrs. Mack Johns, program chairman.
