tered, oblong, 1 mm. long, white lenticels. There is another type 
of leaves (f. 13) present 
on the young growth 
which I have not ob- 
served in the other 
species. In the latter 
form the serrations are 
much finer. 
Philip Miller observed as early 
as in 1759 that the Carolina 
Poplar was less able to resist cold 
than the other species of that 
group. Professor Bessey has 
also called attention to this fact. 
Michaux f. in his description 
of the tree states: “Le bois du 
Peuplier de Caroline est blanc et

(Michx. f., 1. c) It was my 
good fortune to observe this 
handsome tree of our South- 
land last fall (Sept. 23, 1913). 
Populus deltoides which was 
planted in the streets had al- 
ready shed its leaves while the 
native treegraced thebanks of

I am indebted to Albert F. 
Stouffer for the illustrations.
