Found in dry sandy woods throughout the State ; most abun- 

 dant in the Pine Barrens and the mountains of the northern 

 counties. 



Arbutus seems out of place in the sandy stretches of the Pine 

 Barrens, but, nevertheless, it grows here in luxuriance and with 

 as fine flowers as I have ever seen in richer soil. Sometimes 

 fire sweeps over its haunts and frequently the mid-summer sun 

 curls up its leaves until the edges are brown and brittle, but 

 still it persists and rivals the Pyxie and Helonias as the most 

 attracive early spring flower of the region. 



Fl. — Early April to early May. Fr. — July, probably.
