54a Notes on Burlington Trees 



The birches planted in the city are nearly all the European white 

 birch. Two typical young speciroens of this stand in front of General 

 Henry's house, 85 South Prospect street. A fine specimen of the weeping 

 variety may be seen in the west part of the grounds of Mr. Hungerford, 

 303 Pearl street. 



The native white birch is especially abundant in the lighter soils east 

 of the city.
