42a Notes ox Burlington Trees 



The Norway spruce is a common shade tree. Fine large specimens 

 occur in many yards, for example near the street walk in Mr. Mason's 

 premises 439 College street. There is a fine collection of younger trees 

 planted about twenty j-eans ago on the terrace of the campus north of the 

 President's house. It should be noted that a considerable variation is 

 shown among these. The rapid growth of this spruce is well illustrated by 

 the size of the tree in the row with the white spruces bordering the drive- 

 way east of the Wheeler house, corner of Prospect and Main streets. This 

 was planted only thirty-four years ago (1865). 



The Colorado blue spruce is of recent introduction. The best speci- 

 mens which have come under our observation may be seen in the grounds 

 of Mr. Woodhouse, near the corner of South Willard and Spruce streets. The 

 largest of these were planted in 1891. Good types of this may also be seen 

 in the east portion of Colonel Cannon's grounds, also at Professor Perkins' 

 and in the Senator Edmunds' yard.
