THE TWIN COPPER BEECHES IN GEORGETOWN CONVENT GROUNDS 



Magnificent specimens of one of our most beautiful trees, and looking like one large tree with a 

 crown like an immense copper dome. They must have been in their prime during Civil War 

 days and bear many marks, dates and initials. Their respective circumferences are 13 and 11 

 feet. They stand in the grounds of Georgetown Convent at Washington, D. C, and have been 

 nominated for the Hall of Fame by Mrs. Mary A. Easby-Smith, historian of the convent 

 alumnae. (See page 495.)
