A Notable Old Tree.

There is an elm tree on the premises of
Nathan Perry, in the south part of this
town, which is larger than the Washing
ton elm of Cambridge and more than a
century in age. Three feet from the base
of the trunk it measures Is feet in circum-
ference, and four feet from the ground.
where the trunk begins to swell from its
limbs, the grth is something over 10 feet.
The. spread Of its branches from north to
south is 100 feet, and from east to west the
same distance is only slightly cut off by
contact with another tree. j. A. Young
of Williamsville, who made the measure
ments at the writer's request and who has
travelled much about the United States and
other lands, considers 1t the largest elm in
the country. Some in South Newfane
have believed it to be wild tree growth.
G. w. Knapp of this place claims fam
lily interest in this monarch of elms, say
ing that his great grandfather King plant
ed it.
