MIDDLE FLORIDA HAMMOCK BELT 



(Pages 254-265) 



Fig. 67. Looking up Santa Fe River from bridge near Worthington 

 Springs. (Bradford County on the left, Alachua on the right.) Hammock 

 and bottom vegetation on both sides. May 26, 1909. 



Fig. 68. Field of peanuts on rich gray loamy sand (which is very char- 

 acteristic of this part of the hammock belt), about 3 miles south of Alachua, 

 Alachua County ; showing horizontal circular rows following contours around a 

 dry lime-sink, with patch of weeds in center. Hardwood forests in background, 

 solitary sweet gum tree at left. July 14, 1914. (The soil here is probably 

 well supplied with phosphorus, among other things, and the sweet gum is one 

 of the trees that seems to prefer phosphatic soils.)
