44a Notes on Burlington Trees 



The white spruce is common on Providence Island, and young trees 

 suitable for transplanting may easily be obtained there. Several large trees 

 of this species occur mingled with Norway spruce in the east portion of the 

 Wheeler grounds, corner of Main and Prospect streets. The symmetry and 

 fine color of this native spruce are well shown in the single tree which stands 

 apart near the ■Main street line, about five rods west of the corner. The 

 three trees standing in the row just east of the house were planted by Presi- 

 dent Wheeler about 1845. 



Fine specimens of the hemlock are abundant on the ledges at Red 

 Rocks. Some small trees occur on the Hutchinson jlawn, 178 South Prospect 

 street. There is a fine hemlock hedge about the Hickok property at the 

 junction of Shelburne and St. Paul streets, also on the lower side of Colonel 

 Cannon's grounds, South Willard street.
