4 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 1 835 or 1 867? Tradition gives two dates to the time of planting of this tree. The members of the Deacon family, who owned the property for many years before Branksome Hall secured it, have always believed that it was planted on July 1, 1867, to mark Confedera- tion. Before Colonel Deacon bought what is now the central part of our Junior School, the Waldie family lived there and before that Sheriff William Jarvis, active in the affairs of York, whose property extended considerably beyond the present limits, developed his estate called Rosedale , and gave the name to this area of Toronto. In 1928 the book Mary ' s Rosedale and Gossip of Little York by Alden G. Meredith was published and has as one of its illustrations, The Rosedale Elm, a seedling of 1830 . He states, It was to celebrate the fifth birthday of her eldest child that Mary planted an elm upon the lawn in 1835. It grew and flourished, becoming with time one of the handsomest trees of the estate . The Mary referred to was Mrs. William Jarvis. We believe that this is our Readacres Elm, but we leave it to you to decide whether the date of planting was 1835 or 1867.
