WASHINGTON ELM TO GROW AGAIN ON ORIGINAL SITE

The Washington Elm is not to die. A scion of that famous tree will be planted on the original site. This is Boston's gift to the city of Cambridge. The tree is now growing at Charlestown Heights where it was planted in 1905 from the Arnold Arboretum and presented to the Boston Park Department. During its years of growth, the tree has received the best of care and is a remarkably sturdy specimen. Washington's birthday has been set for the date of transplanting.
