Scope and Contents
The tree has a solid green color with a shape resembling a clam shell. According to Willliam Allen (WEB 2013), this is the true first edition of this important card. A later version of this card is often mistaken to be the first edition. This card features Gardner's watercolour image - a tile version of Tree Shells based on this image was made in the 1970s and caused much controversy between Gardner and Finlay. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
