NOTES ON OUR LOCAL PLANTS 219 



tree in cultivation as it should and like the butternut is at times 

 afflicted by caterpillars to such an extent as be deprived of its leaves 

 almost entirely. Some years ago trees were cut down in a neighbor- 

 ing city because these caterpillars were found to be strewn on 

 sidewalks and falling from the branches on people passing by. 

 Within a few years even medium sized trees wiil be verv rare 

 in our region. Fifty years ago trees were cut down and used for 

 fuel, so great was their abimdance in St. Joseph County.

 common than the preceding as it is not as useful or valuable for 

 lumber. I have found it quite abundant in all the counties.

 of South Bend, 2110X and 2108, from the same place are quite 

 typical. The others have nuts with thinner husk. The nut itself 

 has a very thin shell and is not notably angled. It may prove 

 a separate variety.
