48a Notes on Burlington Trees 



The shellbark hickory is common about Burlington, especially in the 

 heavier soils south of the city. Numerous trees occur on South Union 

 street, one standing on Mr. South wick's lawn, No. 280. There are two 

 larger trees just east of the Court-house. 



The bitternut hickory is common in this vicinity. There are sev- 

 eral small specimens of it in the College park. The largest of these is near 

 the University place road opposite the main building. Two young trees 

 stand near the southwest corner of the park, where they were planted by 

 Professor Goodrich in 1876. A larger tree occurs in the street row in front 

 of 388 Pearl street, near the head of Williams street.
