of Llic disease, diseased spots, on (lie inudc of I lie tree. Tliat is 

 tlie way (lie li-ee looks w Ihmi (iiis (liseas(i aUacks llic ti-iiiik. 'JMiaL 

 tree is practically dead. The lower pari, i-epreseiited l»y i\\it 

 U}\\('V half of tiuiL picture, shows suiiie life. 



Xo. L'!». Ill the course of two or three ycai-s we liiid that the 

 hark he^iiis to pec! fr(»iii llic trunks of the ti'ces. At the left we 

 lia\(' a tree wiiicli has only recently lieeii kille(|, that is, within 

 a year or so i)erhaj)s, and the next one to it is one which is a lilt je 

 <dder, and the hark has heniin to peel olf. The one which is so 

 jir(»inineiil is prohaldy the liist in (he groiip which was attacked

Xo. oO. Xo^^■ (o consider the more i;;eneral appeai-ance of the 

 woo<lland, here is a view taken in Forest J'ark, Krooklyn. alon<^ 

 the I»oule\ai'd. '^Fliis is one of the main boulevards throuiiii the 

 Park, and any of you will have no dilllcully in jiicking out the 

 chestnuts, "^IMiey are (he most conspicuous objects. Xo( one of 

 tin' i^reen trees you see there is a chestnut. 



No. 31. Here is another view taken, 1 think, at Tort Jelfer- 

 son on Loiiu Island. It may have been a New Jei'sey view; I 

 am ;i little iiiicertaiu as to just where it was taken. That shows 

 tli(? yonn.n' i»rowth conung- np and becoming diseased, and shows 

 the effect al(»nu (he hedgerow that we get fr(mi this disease. 



No. 32. This is one of (he most southern stations which we 

 know for the disease. This view was taken in South-western Vii'- 

 ginia, in lledford connty. The more prominent trees there have 

 lost the l)ark entirely. Those trees, I nnderstand, have been cut 

 out and no longer exist. 



No. .*>:>. If you want to see what the chestnut disease can do 

 in a very neaidx pure stand (d' chestnuts, there is a view which 

 will slntw it. That was taken in Forest Fark on Long Island. 

 Any (d'y(»u who have been in ^^^rest Park will probably recognize 

 that view. 



No. 34. The next view, I think, is another view (»f a little 

 ditferent ])ortion «d' (he same Park. These trees at the right are 

 not chestnuts at all. This one u\) here, I believe, is a chestnut 

 and there are some oaks there at the left.
