No. 24. Here is a view taken on Lon<i; Island, wliicli shows

 disease, showinu the ]>raclically defoliated type of tree. Here 

 is another tyjie, ( indicat ini!, I, Axliich lias become badly diseased, 

 and we have a bunch of sjironts ai>pearini:; at this point, also here,

 uii-dlinm from the disease, and now we ha\'e remaininii' only those; 

 two, or perhai)S three, lower left hand limbs. 



Xo. 2G. This is a tree showinii the sprout growth which I

 Xotice th.e sprouts which come np around the base, and the 

 spronts which come from the trunk at various places np in Ihe 

 cro\A'n. 



No. 27. There you have another tyjte of the same thing, a more

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

 except perhaps on(» or two branches. 



X^o. 28. This view is shown in order to call to your attention 

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