          wholly the product of the last 30 days. The
case has been the same with many other
trees especially Elms. Where the trees were but
partially bereft of their leaves, only the [crossed out: ?]
denuded portions were supplied with new leaves.
In one instance I saw a Robinia pseudoacacia
with its new suit of leaves, displaying several
racemes of [added: its] white flowers, the racemes of nearly
the usual size and length. In another case
a Cercis canadensis (as I am informed) put
forth its buds of red flowers along its denuded
branches, thus true to its constitutional peculiarity
of putting forth its flower buds before its leaf buds.
These facts I think will interest you, especially
if you have never observed them.
