LITTLE LOGAN ELMS
Sometime early in the current year it
was suggested
that possibly under the spreading
branches of the Logan
Elm might be found some seedling baby
Logan Elms
that with proper care would grow up
through the years
into sturdy trees like the parent. The
little park sur-
rounding the Elm is mown every year and
the young
seedlings fall before the scythe. Upon
investigation,
however, a number of stubs were found
with good live
roots. On April 21, several of these
were raised by Mr.
Frank Tallmadge and the writer and
placed in prepared
positions by Miss Margaret E. Ritchie,
who christened
them "Logan Elms of the New
Generation." They
were planted in a row by the fence at
the north side of
the Park, where they will be safe from
the keen edge
of the caretaker's scythe. They have
put out leaves and
apparently every one of them will grow.

QUARTERLY

the appropriation
of $15,000 for real estate and other
