- Description:
- Newspaper caption attached to print verso: "'Tree of Heaven' is taboo. Because it puts forth an offensive odor, the ailanthus, otherwise known as the 'Tree of Heaven,' has long been under the ban in Atlanta by city ordinance. Now officials have complaints that the smell is back in the air in several sections of the city, and Mayor Hartsfield has decreed that every specimen must be destroyed. This one, no bunch of lilacs, stands between two houses on Grant Street in southeast Atlanta. Seaborn Quattlebaum and Mrs. T.S. Collins, residents of the neighborhood, look on. See today's editorial page for description of the ailanthus tree and its odor. -- Journal photo." Dated "Aug 4 1938."
