84a Notes on Burlington Trees 



The hardy American catalpa has been planted in numerous yards, but 

 it is not fully liardy and no specimens have reached a large size. As large 

 and typical a specimen as we have seen stands near the driveway on the 

 south side of Mr. John Allen's house, corner Main and Prospect streets. 



Small specimens of the Japanese catalpa occur in numerous yards. The 

 largest one that we have observed stands in the sti-eet row in front of 7S 

 Adams, just east of Elm street. The Japanese species appears to be a hardier 

 plant than either of our Americans. It is easily distinguished from them 

 by its more slender pods. 



The southern catalpa, C. hignonioides, has also been planted occasionally. 

 A specimen stands near the street fence in the Hagar garden, 323 College 

 street.
