40a Notes on Buulinciton Trees 



The picturesque pine stump fences bear witness to the abundance and 

 size of the white pines in the priinoval forests of tlie vicinity of Burling- 

 ton. The campus was originally covered with a mixed growth of white pine 

 and hard wood. As this was removed second growth pine appeared. The 

 grove adjacent to Converse Hall is a survival of this and now represents a 

 growth of somewhat over sixty years. The group of pines on the College 

 Park was planted by Chauncey Goodrich about 1855. The finest trees in the 

 vicinity are in the lower part of Colonel Cannon's grounds. 



Fine specimens of the red pine may be seen at Red Rocks. It is also 

 common about Rock Point and occurs sparingly on the lighter soils north 

 and east of the city. There is a medium-size tree just north of the house 

 on the Misses Austin's lawn at the corner of Willard and Main streets.
