A two-page article from Handweaving News (August 1943) by Nellie Sargent Johnson giving four-harness adaptations of overshot tree designs taken from the Speck Book, following up on patterns in the June 1943 issue. It supplies threading key drafts and drawdowns for three threading drafts, with instructions for arranging a 420-thread warp (No. 20/2 cotton at 30 ends per inch), border and repeat thread counts, and treadling orders keyed to the levers of a Structo loom. The designs are suggested for borders, towels, luncheon sets, place mats and runners.
