the corky bark has been planted in Danvers to some ex- 

 tent. There is a very fine specimen of this tree in Mr. 

 Dugan's place, planted about 1835 by the late John C. 

 Lee, Esq. 



The Dutch elm, also called wych elm and Scotch 

 elm (Ulmus montana), is, in appearance, intermediate 

 between the American and English elms. Its spread- 

 ing habit is more like that of the American tree. The 

 bark is not broken across like that of the English elm, 

 which gives the trunk of that tree a checkered appear- 

 anee, but, on the upper and smaller branches, it is 

 lighter in color and almost smooth. The seeds closely 

 resemble those of the English elm. There is a good 

 specimen of the Dutch elm on Winter street, at No. 15, 

 and another before the house of Mr. Jos. M. Parsons, 

 No. 32 Lynde street. A small tree is on the avenue 

 leading to Dr. Mack's house from Grove street, and 

 there is one among the other trees on the eastern 

 side of the street, in Danversport, just beyond the 

 northern end of "spite bridge". There are rows of 

 these elms at either side of the Congregational Church 

 on Maple street, Danvers, which are said to have been 

 raised or introduced by Mr. Joshua Silvester, whose 

 name is, more than any other, associated with ornamen- 

 tal tree planting in Danvers, and to whose good offices 

 the town is indebted for the beautifully planted grounds 

 of the Peabody Institute. 



There are two Dutch elms not far from the house of 

 Dr. Morrill, in North Andover. This tree is also com- 

 mon around Boston, and there is a large tree marked 

 with its name at the east of, and not far from, the sol- 

 diers' monument on Boston Common.
