32 CONARD : painters' ARBORETUM. 



Sassafras variifolium 



Saxifraga pennsylvanica 



Sequoia gigantea 



This tree flourishes on a dry hill top south of the Arboretum. 

 The trunk is about one foot through. About 1895 the top was 

 cut out by some ignorant person for a "Christmas tree." The 

 tree is rapidly recovering, but seems to be making two lead- 

 ers, which may spoil its growth. 



Sequoia senipervirens 



A small, forked tree in south part of Arboretum. It is one of 

 six which were brought from California — two for Meehan, 

 two for John Evans and two for the Painters. I am told that 

 all died save this one. 



Spirea spp. 



Symphoricarpus spp. 



Taxodium distichum 



Tree over two feet in diameter, with many "knees." 



Taxus baccata
