Planting of redbud trees along the banks of the Maumee river between Defiance and the Henry county line will be continued next Saturday under auspices of the Defiance Garden Club.
Last Saturday 250 of the seedlings taken from Independence State Park were planted by 20 prisoners of war from Camp Defiance, supervised by Henry H. Reineke and Harry L. Burden. State highway department trucks were used for transportation.
Each spring the redbuds along the old canal bank east of Independence dam have attracted much comment to the present plan of the Garden club, in co-operation with the high way department to make extensive plantings along the river and canal banks.
