THE LINDENS AT PLYMOUTH 



row on the street averages a little over 

 sixty feet in height, and the circumferences 

 at four and a half feet from the ground, 

 beginning with the tree at the upper end 

 of the row, are as follows: 



9 ft. 5 in 

 9 "8 



6 "9 



7 " 5 

 9 " o 



7 " 2

 9 "6 



The linden standing on Cole's Hill is 

 thirteen feet and six inches in circumference, 

 and while only about fifty feet in height 

 possesses a broad, spreading crown of over 

 sixty feet. 



It may be added, in closing this chapter, 

 that the Plymouth hndens are rivaled in 

 size and spread by a group of three on the 

 Cotuit road on the southern side of the town 

 of Sandwich. The largest of these is about 

 15 feet in circumference, and is the very 

 counterpart of the Hnden on Cole's Hill, 

 Plymouth, just described.
