There are a number of trees now standing which date back as far as the Revolution, a time which is rich in local color.
The Washington elm is the first of these to occur to the mind.
Of the trees simply ancient, the Waverley oaks and the Hemlock wood of the Arnold Arboretum are prominent examples.
Around these trees there is an atmosphere which fires the imagination.
We long for the genius and the pen of a John Muir to penetrate the mystery and interpret the charm which surrounds these patriarchs.
The emotion they awake is akin to awe, and is like that which inspired the writers of some of the grandest psalms, the psalms of nature.

Some old trees—number 3 By Sara A. Stone
The willows once growing on College avenue, near the golf grounds, were probably planted to protect a creek which ran into the Middlesex canal to keep it supplied with water.
The canal was under construction early in 1800.
The Tufts College grounds, now so well adorned with trees, once presented a practically treeless hill.
Early pictures of it show the lines of stone wall which divided the farms, and few or no trees.
The last of the walnuts, which gave the name to the hill originally, were cut down by the soldiers encamped on Winter Hill for their log huts and back-logs.

Ladies of the Universalist societies in the vicinity of Boston used to have planting bees,
