A common tree in dry sandy localities in northern New Jersey 

 and in the Middle district, the Red Cedar is particularly char- 

 acteristic of the coastal strip and the coast islands, and nowhere 

 have I seen it fruit more abundantly. In the Pine Barrens it is 

 found only in cultivated areas, where it has been obviously intro- 

 duced. 



Fl. — Mid-March to early April with the first warm spring 

 days, from buds formed the previous summer. Fruit matures in 

 early autumn, persisting more or less through the winter.

* While the Juniper (/. communis Linn, Sp. PI. 1040. 17S3. — N. Europe) 

 is found at several localities in the northern counties, its claim to a place in. 

 this list is based solely upon Torrey's statement to Willis, that it is found 

 rarely in Monmouth Co. I have seen no specimen.
