*Liriodendron tulipifera, L. Yellow Poplar. Tulip-tree. 



"Common in woods throughout the State. Our largest 

 forest tree." (Britton.) 



"Deciduous zone, coniferous zone. Scattering from the 

 deciduous zone. (Geol. Rpt., '99, Hollick, 185.) 



"In some swamps there is a specimen of Liriodendron 

 tulipifera," (Geol. K-pt., '99, Gifford, 247.) 



"This is one of our most valuable forest trees, its wood 

 being useful for man} 7 purposes. Though it onee grew abund- 

 antly, it has become so scarce and difficult of access that the 

 prices are distinctly on the advance. It prefers deep, light, 

 loamy, sandy or clayey soils, in cool, moist situations. Since 

 it is rather difficult for inexperienced men to grow this tree 

 from seed, young trees for planting are best taken from the 

 woods or bought from the nurserymen. Trees may also be 

 raised from cuttings. Young trees should be planted four 

 or six feet apart." (Hort, Ept., '03, Meier, 214.)

 (Britton.) 



"Species more or less abundant in both the deciduous and 

 coniferous zones." (Geol. Ept., '99, Hollick, 185.)
