Some Famous Trees
in Washington Streets
Special letter.

In the Botanical gardens there
grows a young oak whose gracefully
outstretched branches are a-quiver
with shiny green leaves. An Amer
lean traveller, who was paying his re-
spects at the tomb of the great phil
ospher who lived five hundred years
before Christ and who wrote the SIX
sacred books of the Chinese, picked
an acorn from the grave and brought
it as a souvenir to Charles A. Dana.
Mr.. Dana in turn gave it to Represen-
tative Amos ]. Cummings, who was
a personal friend of Superintendent
Smith of the Botanical gardens. To-
gether they planted the acorn, and
now the sturdy little Chinese tree
may serve also to keep green the
memory of Mr.. Cummings, whose
death his colleagues in Congress Ia
mented a few weeks ago.
Among the interesting trees In the
National gardens are the two Peace
Oaks" They were planted In 1867
from acorns brought from Kentucky
by John ]. Crittenden and ROPER.
Malloy of that state, both of whom
strove so particularly in the interest
of peace at the beginning OF the
civil war. From the acorns of these
historic trees Superintendent smith
raised 300 young shoots, which were
recently planted on the battle oi
Chickamauga, Georgia.

Washinaton's Elm.

famous old Octagon house lilac
tree was cut down not long ago whose
history is one of romance. 1t was
called the Aaron Burr Lilac, and Its
death was due to old age. The lilac
was made famous during the temper
,ary residence of President Madison in
the Octagon house at the time direct
ly after the British fired the White
House.
The story goes that Burr was en-
amored of the beautiful Mistress Dol
ly, who promptly forbade him the
house. One morning in early spring
the infatuated Aaron climbed over
the wall and hid in the lilac bush
until he saw the President wife
as was her custom, come into the gar
den to read. No sooner was she
seated than he threw himself at her
feet. Mrs. Madison sent him OIL

not affect the children who play under

The tree planting fashion set by
Washington has been so generally FOL
lowed by his successors that the
White House grounds are as green
as a forest with historic oaks and
