THE LAST ACCKSSIBLK PRIMEVAL PINES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



TRYING TO SAVE PRIMEVAL PINES 



THE Society for the Protection of 

 New Hampshire Forests is en- 

 deavoring to raise $2,500 to 

 save a grove of twenty-five 

 magnificent primeval pines in New 

 Hampshire. These pines are on the 

 road from North Sutton to Warner. In 

 circulars which the society is sending 

 out it asks that checks be made payable 

 to George T. Cruft, treasurer, and sent 

 to Montgomery Rollins, Hancock 

 avenue, Boston, Mass. 



This last accessible grove of primeval 



pines in New Hampshire is located less 

 than a quarter of a mile from the 

 charming village of North Sutton, on 

 the road to Warner. This road is much 

 used between Sunapee and Concord, 

 and traverses a beautiful country. 



Twenty-one splendid primeval pine 

 trees are standing. Seven of these form 

 one group close to the roadside. They 

 measure seventy feet from the ground 

 to the first limb. The remaining four- 

 teen, equally large, are mingled in an 

 attractive grove of old hemlocks.
