 Tills particular tree had a circuinfereiice, above the settee wliieh 

 is there, of more than nineteen feet. The view was taken thr(;e 

 years ago. That tree now has only two or three of the green 

 liraiiches left and the wlnde to}) of the tree is cnt off. I am sorry 

 1 do not have the other views to go with this, ))nt through some 

 slii) somewhere they Avere not forwarded to be showji. 



No. 23. Now we have a view in which the disease has a start 

 up in this corner, and the discoloration of the leaves, or the 

 masses of leaves, is here slioAvn. Now a discoloration of this sort, 

 particularly wlien it (-(nnes to a little later stage and has a more 

 brilliant color, is quite conspicuous in the landscape. This vieAV 

 does not do credit hy any means to the point which is intended to 

 be brought out here. 



No. 24. Here is a view taken on Long Island, which shows 

 the effect on the tree; a tree which has been nearly killed by the 

 disease, shoAving the practically defoliated type of tree. Here 

 is aiKtther type, (indicating), Avhich has become badly diseased, 

 and we have a bunch of si)routs appearing at this point, also here, 

 and also basal sprouts coining uj*. These sprouts are rather char- 

 acteristic; perhaps I should not say characteristic, but they are 

 commonly found connected Avith this disease, and are supposed 

 to be more or less characteristic of the disease, l)ut the sprouts 

 can be produced by other means than as a result of the disease. 



No. 25. Another tree, also on Long Island, in Avhicli all but 

 tA\o of the loAver liml)S on the left hand side have been killed by 

 girdling from the disease, and noAV Ave have remaining only those 

 tAvo, or perhaps three, loA>'er left hand limbs. 



No. 2(). This is a tree showing the sprou.t groAvtli wliicli I 

 alluded to in one of the last pictures, to even better advantage. 

 Notice the sprouts Avhich come up around the l)ase, and the 

 sprouts Avliich come from the trunk at various places up in the 

 crown. 



No. 27. There yon have another ty])e of the same thing, a more 

 pronounced example, in which the sprouts are confined almost 

 entirely to the trunk of the tree and everything is dead or dying, 

 except perhaps one or tAvo branches. 



No. 28. This view is slioAvn in order to call to your attention 

 this particular tree (indicating), Avhich shoAvs four good lesions
