CHINA TREE.-Who ever thinks here
of the value of the china tree? Were this
tree to grow and flourish at the North as it
does here, our cabinet shops would be filed
with furniture manufactured from its wood,
recommended by its beauty, and the res
markable quality It possesses of being proof
against harbor for insects, (how lnvala-
able for bedsteads;) our drug stores would
be filed with vermifuges and panaceas,
made from its roofs. leaves and berries, and
our cosmetics perfumcd with its flowers.
