Ed, Several days ago I asked my naturalist friend which Catalpa is the one that was widely planted around South Jersey in the past. He said it's Southern Catalpa, Catalpa bignonioides. The neighboring farm has one in front of the house, but I've never been close to it. I've only seen it in bloom from the public road. Very pretty. Barry

I added it to the ENTS species page. Winter Trees and Shrubs: http://www.portraitoftheearth.com/trees/specieslist.html I am not the best at identifying species in the winter. I wonder about the Northern Catalpa. Most sources I have read seem to indicate that the southern catalpa is the one that is more widely planted.
