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 he 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.
