Proud of Rare Plant

rare and handsome tree with curl
Gus history issthe gordonia or franklin
tree, which, owing to the Bartrams can
now be seen in few Phnedalphia
gardens says the New York Herald.
The tree was first discovered by John
Bartram, who, with his son William,
was on one of his extensive botanizing
expeditions in the southern part of the
country, on the Altamaha river. in
Georgia near Fort Darlington. Some
years afterward. about 1890 or 1881
William Bartram found the tree again
in the same locality. He brought a
plant and some seeds home and planted
them in his fathers garden, where, for
tunately they took root and grew.
The tree was of fsthc gordonia family
they perceived. but of an unknown va
riety. and differing from the gordonia
in numerous respects. The flowers We're
so beautiful. the tree so handsome. that
they felt they must honor 1T With an
appropriate name, SO they called t
Franklinia Aitamah as Franklin was
an intimate friend of both father and
son.
The curious part of the history of
the tree is that il has never been
found since. not even in its Original
locality, though botanists without mum
ber have made diligent search where
there was the slightest probability of
finding it.
The tree is exceedingly difficult to
propa gate. as it does not perfect its
seeds, and all the specimens that are
known to be in existence are the de-
scendants of that first tree that grew
in Bartram's garden. 1t is. incidentally,
the last member of an expiring family.
Audubon mentions the tree and has a
picture of 1t with bird near by
Strange TO say, it is closely related
to a species that is numerous in Japan,
and those who believe that in prehis-
toric ages there was land eoniiection
between eastern Asia and our American
continent think the Franklin tree is
conclusive evidence of the fact that the
Pacific ocean is a recent formation and
that the gordonia is a survivor of the
age when plant travel over the land
was not interrupted by the interven-
tion of a great 6ody of water.
The tree blossoms very freely in late
August and early September, the indt-
vidual flowers lasting only a short
time. The withered blossoms have an
odor not unlike boiled tea and the
fresh flowers have delicate and
pleasing perfume. There are some fine
specimens OF the Franklin tree in Ger
mantown and few in the old gardens
of mansions that are now included in
Paramount park
The lates Thomas Meehan, a we'll
known botanist, is responsible for those
now in existence. The original tree
that grew in Bartram's garden is no
longer living. but its descendants.
which grow to<a height of 20 or so feet
with their beautiful white flowers, are
not unlike tile camcllia. Indeed. the
tree is of the same natural family as
the cameIlia and is well worthy of ad-
miration.
