This photograph was taken on May 8, 1958, during a ceremony held on the White House South Grounds to commemorate the centennial of President Theodore Roosevelt's birth and his dedication to environmental conservation. As part of the ceremony, President Dwight D. Eisenhower planted an oak tree to replace a tree planted by President Roosevelt in 1904. Roosevelt's oak tree had been south of the East Wing, but in 1956 it was toppled by a storm. Among those present at the ceremony were chief of staff Sherman Adams, Secretary of Agriculture Erza T. Benson, and Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton.
