Castanea dentata Borkh 
Sandy loam soil in mixed woods, near Kenwood, 2 miles south 
of Oneida. H. D. House, July 21, 1914. No. 5685. The chestnut 
is not a common tree in central New York as most of the soils 
either contain too much lime or are derived directly from underly- 
ing limestone, a condition which seems to be inimical to the growth 
of the chestnut. So far as I know this is the only locality for the 
chestnut in Madison county, although it has been successfully 
planted in a number of places.
