Notes on Burlington Trees 50b 



The crack willow has been planted very commonlj- as a street and 

 shade tree, especially in the section between North and North Bend streets. 



The Lombardy poplar is commonly planted. There are numerous 

 young trees in the grounds of Professor Emerson, corner of Summit and 

 Maple streets, and several have recently been planted upon the campus. 

 Larger specimens may be seen in the back part of the Edmunds grounds, 

 near the east line. The most extensive planting of this poplar in the vicin- 

 ity is on the estate of Mr. Henry Holt where tliey border the avenue lead- 

 ing to the house. 



There is a large wliite poplar tree on the campus immediately east of 

 the driveway from Commons Hall to Colchester avenue. Another stands 

 on the terrace at the east side of the Medical college. The longevity of the 

 tree may be judged by two specimens on the south part of the Wheeler 

 grounds, planted by President Wheeler about 1843.
