 These fine trees form an 

 irregular elliptic group at 

 distances of from 30 to 60 

 ft. apart. Probably from 

 the nature of the soil 

 being impregnated with 

 ironstone, no tree in the 

 wood (oak, &c.) has been 



-; cut and found free from 

 ring and star shakes, the 

 former predominating. 

 These trees nearly all 

 branch off into two large 

 limbs or heads, some 

 indeed into clusters of 

 large branches forming 

 dense heads. 



(Goes into four large limbs 

 < or straight stems at 6 ft. 

 ( from ground. 



! These five are growing in a 

 row, and are tall trees, 

 with good boles, but small 

 tops for the size of the 

 trees. 



A splendid park tree.
