Black hickory is in the neighborhood, but not in this section. 
Black oak, red oak, and white oak are about evenly divided 
among the bushes in this spot—the only place I have noticed 
where there is a greater proportion of white oak among the 
bushes than among the old trees. Location, level sandy 
ridge, about thirteen miles from Paducah.
