13 Bradford Road Near the State Line 



Some of the highest elevations of the park area are 

 to be found some distance east of where the road to 

 Bradford crosses the state line into Pennsylvania. The 

 slopes are rather steep on the south side of the ridge 

 and are covered with a second growth which in places is 

 considerably older than the second growth forest of 

 Quaker run valley. The tree species are chiefly Sugar 

 Maple, Hemlock, Ash, Yellow Birch, Red Maple, Red 

 Oak, with numerous examples of Aspen, Bird Cherry and 

 Shadbush. The Mountain Ash, Sorbus americana, occurs 

 near the top of the ridge, where also is found the Flower- 

 ing Dogwood, Cornus florida, and the Sassafras. 



The shrubs listed here are those occurring chiefly near 

 the top of the ridge and hence on the poor or sterile 

 gravelly soil derived from the conglomerate formation : 



Salix Bebbiana Cornus canadensis 



Diervilla Lonicera Acer peimsylvanicum 



Viburnum acerifolium Amelanchier intermedia 



Salix discolor Ilex monticola 



Rubus allegheniensis Azalea nudi flora 



Gaultheria procumbens Lonicera dioica var. 

 Ribes Cynosbati glaucescens 



Cornus rugosa Rubus hispidus 

 Rubus strigosus 



During the latter part of July 1926, the display of 

 Fireweed, Epilobium angustifolium, along the freshly 

 disturbed banks of the road approaching the summit from 

 Quaker run was the finest ever seen by the authors out- 

 side of the Adirondack region. 



Owing to repeated fires which have devastated this 

 portion of the park in recent years, the following list of 

 herbaceous species not only is smaller than the number to 

 be found on similar soils of the summit of Stonv creek
