PEA FAMILY 
Pistil.— Ovary superior, linear, bright red, hairy, bearing a long 
incurved style. 
Fruit.— Legume, smooth, linear-compressed, tipped with the rem- 
nants of the styles. Seeds four to six, dark brown. 
Yellow-wood is recommended as really one of the best 
medium sized trees for cultivation. The only objection that 
is mentioned is a tendency of the trunk to divide very near 
the ground. The autumnal coloring of the leaves is a par- 
ticularly clear bright yellow.
