actly alike. In early spring
this beautiful tree unfolds its
blossoms, which are not SNOWY;
these are succeeded by fruit of
a dark red color, somewhat
larger than peas, which ripen
in the sultry month of August,
and are clothed with long pur-
pie hairs. The leaves are con-
sidered of no value for the rear
ing of silk-worms, but in the
South Sea Islands where it
abounds, developing all its Pc.

the bark is extensively en-
ployed by the natives, being
woven into dresses which are
worn by the females. In China
and Japan paper of the softest
and most beautiful texture is
manufactured from the bark

which is first boiled to a soft
pulp, and then submitted to
