Autumn Color of the Bartram Oak.— it may be of interest 
to note that the autumn leaves of Quercus heterophylla color like the 
.. scarlet Q. coccinea. The early leaves of the season are more or less 
entire, but when the plants are growing freely, and make a secondary 
growth, as vigorous oaks often do, the later leaves much resemble 
Quercus coccmea. Indeed, when mixed it is difficult to separate them. 
I think with Martindale it is a good species, and that its relationship 
is with the Scarlet and Black oak. — Thomas Meehan.
