which is so valuable in the large estates in the various Stales. 

 This particular tree had a circumference, above the settee which 

 is there, of more than nineteen feet. The view was taken three 

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

 brandies left and the whole top of the tree is cnt off. I am sorry 

 I do not have the other views to. go with this, but through some 

 slip somewhere they were not forwarded to be shown. 



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

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

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

 particularly when it comes to a little later stage and has a more 

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

 does not do credit by 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, showing the practically defoliated type of tree. Here 

 is another type, (indicating), which has become badly diseased, 

 and we have a bunch of sprouts appearing at this point, also here, 

 and also basal sprouts coming up. These sprouts are rather char- 

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

 commonly found connected with this disease, and are supposed 

 to be more or less characteristic of the disease, but the sprouts 

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



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

 tAVo of the lower limbs on the left hand side have been killed by 

 girdling from the disease, and now we have remaining only those 

 two, or perhaps three, lower left hand limbs. 



No. 26. This is a tree showing the sprout growth which I 

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

 Notice the sprouts which come up around the base, and the 

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

 crown. 



No. 27. There you have another type 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 two branches. 



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

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