There are many sections, as in Alabama and Mississippi, where the soil is well supplied with limestone and where sweet clover abounds. Along the Mississippi River in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas, the swamp flora of the tropics is somewhat duplicated and we find again trees largely dominating as honey plants.
