Red Bud | ' — One of our most abundant *nd 



characteristic trees. Notable specially in early spring before the 

 leaves have expanded, from the profusion of its purple blossoms. 

 Later, the foliage becomes handsome.

lellowwood (< ladrastis luiea). — One of our rarest and most 

 attractive trees, well adapted for ornamental purposes. The 

 blossoms are produced in long, slender, pendent racemee. The 

 heart wood is bright yellow, but fades when exposed to the light. I 

 know of but one locality in the State where this tree can be called 

 common, this is in Jessamine County in ravines along Kentucky 

 River. On nickman Creek near Little Hickman, I have se n some 

 very good trees. At Brooklyn Bridge, southwest of XLholasville, 

 young trees are not uncommon. It has been reported to me by cor- 

 respondents from several other localities, but I feel a little dou 

 about the identification in some cases. Shall be pleased to receive 

 specimens from other localities than that given above. Linney in- 

 cludes it in his list of Boyle and Mercer County plants. Cor- 

 respondents from Estill County report this species as occurring in 

 that section.
