Synopsis
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Higher Cryptogams: Both Native and Introduced, Found Within About Thirty Miles of Hanover, Including a Few Cultivated Species, to Which Is Appended a List of Vertebrate Animals of the Same Region
On the other hand, as the traveller advances thirty miles northward from Hanover, another class of aborescent vegetation appears, that either is not found at all southward, or at least is not abundant. Here the White Cedar becomes plentiful and very valuable, the Tamarack or American Larch fills the swamps, and the White Spruce occasionally appears, while the Black Spruce covers the lower mountain tops, the Paper Birch adorns the hillsides, the Green Alder is found by the streams and in the ravines, and the Elder has red berries more commonly than black ones. Additional illustrations might readily be given, but the above will indicate what changes may be noted within sixty miles only of latitude.
