another magnificent tree not tried anywhere
else in the streets.
: Mr. Hamilton. They are in my place.
Mr.. Wilson. We have got the preLtiest ones
you ever saw at my home.
The Witness. What I say is that they have
not got them In o wholesale way In the streets.
We have them here.-Also in Georgetown
they hacl magnificent ones. Tbs finest tree we
have probably selected for the avenues is the
American elm, of which there is q magnificent
specimen, supposed TO have been planted by
General Washington, right ont here. That
avenue out there is planted with them, and on
the avenues generally We are planting elms;
the English elm. The English elm has given
bad reputation to the elms in this country,
because it Is eaten up by insects. One of our
chief troubles Is the insect. They are small
enemies but 90 numerous that It Is more diff
cult to overcome them than larger ones.
