<s>Disease notes by J. W. Roberts:</s> Row Tree 1 is next to roadway.
A small weak tree;  crown gall is very bad.  Tree 1
Row 2, also poor but better than #1.  Notes on No. 2
This has crown gall or hairy root.  Small and weak
at best.  Whether normally a weak grower, or condition
due to diseased roots, or to location is question.
Location probably a factor at least, since all
trees close by are poor but improve as distance
from this area increases.
