Tsuth Century OAK. in Ma.sachu.ett..

Tenth Century Oaks ia Massachusetts
The great oaks at Waverly. Mass.
are surv!vals Of an oak forest that must
have existed IN that region. according
20 geologtsts and students of trees. as
far back as the tenth century. They
bear every evidence OF great age. and
an elm tree in the neighborhood, with
its great imbs lying on the ground
and nearly all OF its branches decayed,
IS the most venerable object in the line
of trees that can probably be displayed
ia any part Of New England Il is
well worth a visit to Waverly Just to
see this venera BILE elm 1t is immense
in the size Of its trunk, and its dignity
in decay is very impressive. The dozen
oak trees in the neighborhood are of
the sort that attain very great
age unimpaired. We know Of only
one other oak tree ia New England
that can be compared with them.
That is located in Ipswich, and is
larger and more vencra Die. apparently,
than any Of the Waverly oaks, and
that and the wavcrly oaks. we arc
glad to know, have been inspected by
the State Park Commissioners. and are
likely to be preserved. 1t is worth
ones while 10 see and study these ma
jestic oaks. They are seen to great
advantage in the winter, when the
rugged limbs are bare and their im-
mense strength is revealed, and in
summer, when they are covered with
foliage, they are objects Of wonderful
beauty. The State Of Massachusetts
has a duty 20 enfranchise these trees
and make them public property.
They are the glory Of the State, and
almost as much an object Of interest
as the old State House or the venera bic
structure called the Old South Meeting
House. Boston Herald.
