MALE AND FEMALE AlLANTUs.-lt Is we'll
Known to botaniss that ailantus trees are OF
two kinds-male and fema!e-and that the
ones that bear staminate blossoms are respon'
sble for the evil odor Of the tree, the plst'late
blossoms having 20 scent. Heuce it has often
been proposed to out down all the trees that
bear stamiDats blossoms and plant la their
place the pistil. bearers. 1t is believed that
such course would redeem the reputation OF
the treo, as it is useful for shade purposes and
is of good shape. But there is 80 Instance re,
Gently recorded by the Botanical Bulletln, OF
an abnormal performance, that makes 1t doubt;
full whether permanent success would attend
the proposed remedy. An ailantus which has
hitherto borne staminate flowers last year pro-
duced pistllate blossoms on one branch, sue
ceeded by perfect fruit. Now, if the ps'iate
tsees should take to similar freaks. there
would be nothing gained BY substituting them
for the smell producers. y Tribune.
