Remarks

[" Oct. 7. Went to Plymouth to lecture and survey Watson's grounds. . . Saw a small goldenrod in the woods . . .Saw also the English oak" Journal 7: 63. 1854. “June 12. . . P. M. – At Watson’s, Plymouth. . . His English oak is almost entirely out of bloom, though I got some flowers. The biggest, which was set out in ’49, is about thirty feet high, and, as I measured, just twenty inches in circumference at four inches from the ground.” Journal 9: 413-414. 1857]
