80a Notes on Burlington Trees 



Tlie basswood is common as a wild tree in the vicinity and is fre- 

 quently planted. The street shade trees about the Wheeler property at the 

 corner of South Prospect and Main streets are of this species and were planted 

 about fifty years ago. A larger and finer specimen stands about the middle 

 of the north row of trees in the First church parsonage grounds. 



The sour gum is a rare tree about Burlingtun. The only specimens 

 known occur near the new Rutland-Canadian railroad bridge at the mouth 

 of the river.
