Text Appearing Before Image:
THE CLAMMY LOCUST (Robinia viscosa) glandular hairs cover all the new shoots of this tree. The sticky exudation is shiny, making the stems look wet. The flowers are beautifully shaded from deep to pale pink

THE YELLOW-WOOD (Cladrastis lutea) This tree is Queen of Beauty among the pod-bearers. Smooth bark like that of the beech, a wide, graceful head ofslim, pendulous branches, and broad, polished leaflets are but a proper background for the white blossoms. They occasionallycover the tree like a cloud in June, fleecy and fragrant for miles. The delicate pods are thin and contain few seeds The Pod-bearers The virgilia has no bad habits; it is hardy in the climate ofBoston; it thrives in many different soils; it is easily propagatedby seeds or root cuttings; it is a handsome lawn or park tree at anyseason of the year. It ought to be in gardens up and down theland—increasingly planted wherever a beautiful native tree isdesired and appreciated. Some Little-known Pod-bearers Brief mention may be made here of a number of relatives ofour locust trees which are little known because they are restrictedto small areas distant from the Eastern States whose forests weknow somewhat better than those
