I have seen some comparatively large individuals along the Wabash 

 up to the mouth of the Tippecanoe. It is found along the entire extent 

 of the latter river through White County. It was also found in Honey 

 Creek Township (Ward's thicket), near Spring Creek (J. P. Erickson 

 farm) about three and one-half miles northeast of Brookston, and along 

 Big Creek, four miles east of Chalmers. 



Liriodendron tulipifera L. Tulip-tree, Yellow Poplar, Canoe-wood, 

 Lime-tree, White-wood. The published lists for Indiana cover 41 

 counties. Rather rare in some localities. One of Indiana's largest and 

 most useful trees. Not plentiful, but found along the entire length of 

 the Tippecanoe through White County. "It is practically free from 

 insect and fungous diseases" and is an excellent tree for re-enforcing 

 the woodlot — a good shade tree. 



The following trees are more or less common along the Tippecanoe 

 and usually are not found far from the watercourse. Some of them 

 have made their way along the creeks for several miles, notably Spring 

 Creek, east of Brookston, Big Creek, Big Monon, and Pike Creek. 



Celtis occidentalis L. Hackberry, etc. 



Ostrya virginiana (Mill) Willd. Hop-hornbeam. 



Carpinus caroliniana Walt. Am. Hornbeam, etc. 



Cercis canadensis L. Red-bud, Judas-tree. 



Tilia americana L. Linden, Basswood. 



Gymnocladus diocia (L) K. Koch. Coffeenut-tree. 



Aesculus glabra Willd. Ohio Buckeye. 



Fagus grandifolia Ehrh. Beech. 



Cornus florida L. Flowering Dogwood.

Asimina triloba (L) Dunal. Pawpaw. 



Ptelea trifoliata L. Hop-tree, Shrubby Trefoil. 



Hamamelis virginiana L. Witch-hazel. 



Staphylea trifoliata L. American Bladder-nut. 



The last three of the above list are not included in Beam's 1911 

 Report. These are large shrubs or small trees. There are Ptelea at 

 Noi-way, 15 feet high and 3 inches in diameter. The foliage when 

 bruised has an unpleasant odor. The fruit is bitter and has been used 

 as a substitute for hops. According to Coulter it is found in Jefferson,
