TREES. 



Articles giving descriptions and locations of trees in Springfield, printed in the City 

 Library Bulletin, Dect iulK r, 1906, to May, 1908. 



In various parts of the city there are trees which at different seasons are con- 

 spicuous because of seed pods, color, or certain peculiarities of appearance; also some 

 rare species. Descriptions of, or specimens from, such trees are frequently brought to 

 the museum by persons wishing to know more about them, and so much interest has 

 been shown that the museum is publishing brief accounts of some of the more notice- 

 able and rare species in the library bulletins.
