THE WASHINGTON ELM AT PALMER 



Like many trees of its kind this elm has 

 developed greatly at the base. At one foot 

 from the ground the circumference of the 

 trunk is nineteen feet. At breast height 

 it diminishes to fourteen feet and one inch, 

 and increases again as the branches are 

 approached. The height is fifty-five feet, 

 and the spread of branches ninety-five feet.
