This Society has, witli imich vohiiitary work by some of its members and ;it th- "x;i,'iise of the Society, been
able to prepare this list of the location of many of the "Large, Old or otherivisy 1 iiti-r^-stiiig Trees," which give
character and distinction to our New England scenery.

They take pleasure in presenting this list to those who travel with cameras tlirough beautiful New England,
hoping that it may be used to lead them to trees and Iocalitie.5 worthy of being pliotographed.

This Society asks that those who use this list will kiiuUij send, for each case jili'it Kji-.iplirJ, a mpij of the. ■photo-
graph to their rooms, 101 Tremont St., Boston, for whicli they would be greatly obliged.
