 annular rings. 



'These trees are not remark- 

 able for size, but are given 

 to illustrate how well the 

 ash thrives at this low 

 altitude, so near the sea 

 breeze. The climate is 

 very humid, however, and 

 well adapted for tree 

 growth.

 I and is showing sjiuptoms 

 •! of decay. Top dead, liut 

 lateral Ijrauches very vi- 

 [ gorous.

(Grows in house park, about 

 < 20 yards from the River 

 ( Doou.
