"High Street Station" which was, 

 there extended to the Cope houses a 

 rustic walk shaded by a double row 

 of silver maples, and this shortened 

 continues to remind one of the cele- 

 brated "walks" of Addison at Oxford 

 and Milton at Cambridge. Shield- 

 ing Haines street, east of 

 Chew street, is a row of spec- 

 ially fine scarlet maple (acer rubrum) 

 trees now in bloom, and at "John 

 Haines' gate" grow two fine elm trees, 

 each having a trunk 2i/^ feet in diam- 

 eter, a height of 60 feet and a spread 

 of 80 feet, entirely covering the en- 

 trance to this most inviting place. 



With us are several fine elm trees 

 (ulmus Americana), one being on the 

 grounds of Charles Edward Pancoast, 

 East Johnson street; another is in 

 the "Concord graveyard," and two 

 very beautiful weeping elms of the 

 Galena type on Chew street, op- 

 posite Church street, shade the en- 

 trance to Meehans' nurseries. 



At one time several of our largest 

 trees were to be found at Old Oaks 

 Cemetery, grounds once a part of 

 John Tucker's "plantation." This 

 burying ground was located on Town- 

 ship Line road, and extended from
