3. The Beck Memorial Tree, an American elm (Ulmus 

 americana) 



Planted by Senator Beck of Kentucky south of the 

 east gateway entrance to the Garden, near the Crit- 

 tenden tree. This specimen was of special interest 

 because it was propagated from the roots of the 

 Washington elm, which once grew on the Capitol 

 grounds. 



4 . The Alexander Shepherd Memorial Tree, an American 

 elm (Ulmus americana) 



Planted in close proximity to the Beck Memorial 

 Tree. It too was propagated from the roots of the 

 Washington elm, formerly on the Capitol grounds. 



5 . The J.W. Forney and Edwin Forrest Memorial Trees, two 

 bald cypresses (Taxodium distichum) 



Planted on opposite sides of the walk at the 

 southern entrance to the Garden. 



6 . The Conger Memorial Tree, a Spanish red oak (Quer- 

 cus falcata) 



Planted by the late Senator Conger during his term 

 of service in Congress. This tree was located south 

 of the east gateway entrance to the Garden. 



7. The Hayes Memorial Tree, an oak (Quercus leana) 



Planted near the west gateway entrance to the 

 Garden by Mr. Hayes during his term in Congress 

 as Chairman of the Library Committee. This rare 

 native oak was reportedly one of very few speci- 

 mens found growing in the United States at that 

 time. 



8 . The Palmer Memorial Tree, a Japanese walnut (proba- 

 bly Juglans ailantifolia) 



Planted by Mr. Palmer, the public printer, near the 

 west gateway entrance to the Garden, north of the 

 Hayes Memorial Tree.
