A Giant Chestnut Tree.

Probably the largest chestnut tree in
Connecticut stands i'll the town of Mans
field on the land of Mr.. Whipple Green.
1t was pointed ont to me by Mr.. Nathan
Starkweather. We visited it on Aug.
%. 1890. 1t is in an open pasture. about
three-fourths of mile east from Mans
field Station, perhaps fifty rods from the
house of Mr.. Green and not far from
the travelled road. \ small brook runs
a short distance from the tree The
circumference is twenty-three feet at
four feet from the ground. 1t is heavily
buttressed all around, and the trunk is
apparently sound. Four large branches
have been sent out: the lowest. ten feet
from the ground, measures sixteen feet
four inches in circumference and ex-
tends toward the northeast The cir
cumference of the buttresses, or rather
of their roots, exposed above the ground
is fifty-four feet.
Some of the large and high branches
have been broken, the result probably
of severe snow or ice storms, so that it
is not perfectly symmetrical. The di-
ameter of the spread of the branches
from the northeast to the southwest is
eighty-three feet, and from the north
west to the southeast 100 feet. Mr..
Starkweather estimates the height to be
eighty feet. 1t is noble specimen Of
the American chestnut, which has with
stood many years of winds and storms
and promises to live many years yet I'M
less attacked by the woodman's AK. Let
us hope he will spare that tree-Gurdon
