THE ROMANCE OF OUR TREES 



leaders. We have no definite information as to 

 when these trees were planted, but our oldest em- 

 ployee at Horticultural Hall states that a group of 

 young Ginkgo-trees was exhibited on the south side 

 of the Hall in 1876. Two of this group were trans- 

 planted in 1882 to the north side of the Hall, and 

 from the similarity of measurements we presume the 

 others were moved at the same time. It might be of 

 interest to you to know that near Woodford Guard 

 House in Fairmount Park we have a specimen which 

 shows both the spreading base and the pyramidal 

 top."
