RARE AND NOTABLE PLANTS 



Garrett's Hill, opposite Lovett Library 

 are conspicuous superior specimens. 

 Also on Manheim street, near Main 

 street, is a honey-locust tree (gled- 

 itschia triacanthos) with a trunk 

 3 feet in diameter by 80 feet high, 

 and larger and finer specimens 

 are on Pulaski avenue, near Sey- 

 mour street, and in front of Mi- 

 chael Schlatter's stone house. Main 

 street, near where the road turns off 

 for "Wheel Pump," Chestnut Hill. 



At "Carlton" is a magnificent beech 

 (fagus ferruginea) 3 feet in diameter 

 of trunk, with a height of 60 feet and 

 a spread of 40 feet, the finest speci- 

 men I know in our territory. We have 

 many fine beeches, one being at "Aw- 

 bury," and another at Miss Nixon's, 

 on East Tulpehocken street. There 

 are also exceedingly fine specimens at 

 George L. Harrison's, on West School 

 House lane; at William Heft's, on 

 Main street; at "Fernhill," and at 

 places elsewhere, too many to name. 



By George Redles my attention was 

 directed to a large dogwood (cornus 

 Florida) growing near Queen Lane 

 basin, and there true to life, between 

 the basin and Midvale avenue, may be 

 seen a notable specimen ly^ feet in
