MEASUREMENTS OF TREES. 



BY DR. O. H. HOWK. 



The following measurements, except the first, were made in 1898 and represent 

 the circumference of each tree three teet above the ground. 



The elm which formerly stood close to South Main Street, near the Scituate 

 line, in front of the Bates Estate (formerly the estate of Cummmgs Lincoln), was 

 felled October 7, 1892, as it was somewhat decayed and unsafe. It was probably 

 ■the largest tree in town. A currant bush grew in a crotch of the tree about ten feet 

 •above the ground and ripened its currants yearly for more than thirty years. Cir- 

 ■cumference of tree, 189 inches. 



Elm, North Main Street, in rear of residence of Thomas L. Bates, 151 inches. 



Ash, King Street, in front of house of James W. Nichols, 129 inches. 



Ash stump (hollow and now used as a flowerpot), South Main Street, in front of 

 house of C. James Nichols, 163 inches. 



Buttonw-ood, Highland Avenue, near the pond, 138 inches. 



Buttonwood, Beechwood Street, north of Bound Brook, 120 inches. 



Beech, Beechwood Street, south of Bound Brook, 88 inches. 



Holly, Atlantic Avenue, near Sandy Cove, 49 inches. 



Hemlock, in rear of Beechwood Church, 97 inches. 



Black birch, in same locality as last, 75 inches. 



Tupelo, Jerusalem Road, in grounds of George W. Preston, 87 inches. 



Tupelo, in Mohawk Valley (a very handsome specimen), 62 inches. 



Nettle tree, Jerusalem Road, in grounds of Ellis Motte, 79 inches. This tree 

 {Celtis occidentalis,'L..) is somewhat rare, but grows abundantly and in thickets 

 overspreading the rocky lands near Pleasant Beach. 



Cedar, Jerusalem Road, near the Tolman cottages, 78 inches. This old cedar 

 is quite a landmark in the locality and is interesting because it shows by its leaning 

 position the effect of the severe winds which prevail on our coast in winter.
