I'd 



tree in the garden of Mrs. George R. Emmertou on 

 Essex street is nearly as high and measures six feet in 

 circumference. It was planted by Miss L. Rawlins 

 Pickman, prior to 1840, and allowing for its early 

 growth the tree must now be seventy years old. 

 Smaller trees, yet of good size, are in the gardens of 

 Mr. George West, Lafayette street ; Mr. A. W. West, 

 Chestnut street, at the westerly side of the house ; on 

 Cherry street, in front of Dr. Robbins' house. No. 4 ; 

 and in several other places. One fine tree in the rear 

 of Mr. W. S. Nichols's new house, 150 Lafayette street, 

 is a relic of the once noble garden and arboretum of E. 

 Hersey Derby.
