. &
seeds were sent here by Professor Koe-
belle whle in Mexico lately. They are .
very much on the order of the conf
ferae The leaves are feathery with .
very much the appearance Of those OF
the cypress.
Now then as TO the eucalyptus.
There is q great demand fer these. but
the people who come for them, only
two or three. They know that the
eucalyptus is a tree that takes all the
richness out Of the soil. l have been
up on Tantalus for long while and l
know that if people want to plant coffee
there. they VIII first have TO cut down
the eucalyptus trees.
Alligator pears? Well, yes, we
have a few, but these ike the others are
gone as soon as they have begun TO
peep above the soil. You have no idea
what a demand there is for them. l |
might mention the papaia tree along |
| in this lire. Of course the common |
! tree would not be asked for at all, but /
! recently it got abroad that We had !
! some trees here from India and the /
/ consequence was that all the plants !
we had on hand have disappeared. The |
trees are slighter shorter than the pa
paias that are commonly found here
and the fruits are long and thick. !
They are much sweeter than the COM
mon papaias.
"As TO alligator pears l have not
much to say We have planted a great
many for distribution and the demand
for them still grows. We have now a
pear from Mexico that promises to out
shine the one known so commonly
here.
s<Now over here in the corner you
will find the allspice tree. You see that
it is not very large, but I am sure that,
with the proper cultivation, it will do
very well. IL is a tree that would be
of the utmost value here. Near by is
the green and white striped bamboo
that great many people would like
to have. while back of you is the man

, fruit that grows. | have great hopes
, that the tree will do we'll here AS
you see. the nine years of growth have
! not sent il up very high yet. over
there is the Macadamia nut tree OF
i Queensland and near by is the pecan
nut tree that you hear so many people
, say will not grow here. You can see
for yourself that it not only grows but
> has fruit on it just as in it's native
cline Just there is the Jamaica

! grows. It's fruit is finer and sweeter
: than any of the mangoes we have here.
I You will notice that the branches
: hang very close to the ground and that
. the tree is simply laden with fruit.
There you see the teak tree of which
, YOU hear so much. AS in its native
country it takes a long time to grow
= but when once grown, gives one OF
. the most valuable woods known. Over
h there is the large sapOtilla plum that
. is rarity here, and just by, on the
f side of it, is the cotton tree, so we'll
known in the South. 1t will grow
= well here if some one will only go into
f the work in earnest. There is no bet
? ter country than this for cotton.
o 'Just there you see the star apple
= tree which bears the finest kind OF
! fruit 1t is a favOrite and, several
, times in a month we have the honor
= of a call from Chief Justice Judd who
: has taken a particular fancy to the
tree. The leaves. as you see, are brown
k underneath while above they are green
+ and have a very prominent sheen.
V The branches spread out like a fan and
: make a very fine appearance
- over there in the corner you viii
e see a poor ConeIy koU tree. 1t does not

d have brought it down on account OF
e its scarcity. Even in its native haunts
e it is scarce. The wood is much in de-
d mand.
g Nov that I have given you a slight
understanding as to what we have here
81 [ will give you a list of the most i'm
l. portant trees in my mind that we have
/ been successful in growing. Here they
