My dear Mr. Collins: 
I an very much obliged for the photographs of the Fort Kent 
Crataegus. This particular tree had been described to be of such gi¬ 
gantic size that the fruit could only be gathered by the use of a lad¬ 
der. Your photographs dispel this tale and show that it is really 
shrubby and not arborescent in habit. 
With renewed thanks, I an, 
Faithfully yours, 
J. Franklin Collins, Esq. 
Brown University, Providence.
