CHICHESTER. It was named for the Chichester family which came originally from Wales. There are extensive manufacturing plants and a collection of small dwellings down in the valley. Chairs and fine cabinet work are made there, to which the place is devoted. Soon after leaving the station, if at the right season in June, you pass through a perfect flower garden of mountain laurel, which extends for acres upon either side, each shrub a gorgeous mass of pink beauty in a setting of dark green leaves. In fact, this entire
entire route presents a charming variety of wild flowers, ferns, trailing vines and green shrubbery which bloom in succession during the summer, filling the air with wild-wood fragrance. Lovers of plants and wild flowers may revel in the wood and treasures which abound in this region. Among the species found are clematis, ferns in great variety, sarracenias, honeysuckles, Indian pipe, daisies, eupatorium, lilies, phlox, and a host of others.
