VALUABLE SPRUCE.
Some of 1t Worth More for Certain
Purposes Than Finest Rosewood.

Spruce is not commonly accounted u
costly wood, but some Of it my be very
valuable. Spruce is largely used for the
tops of stringed musical instruments,
such as guitars ana mandolins, the
finer grained being the more desirable.
The value of rosewood depends upon its
color and quality. 1t ranges in price
from cent and Il quarter To ten cents
a pound.
Thirty-grain Adirondack spruce would
he worth more than the finest rosewood.
1t might be that not one such log would
be found among thousand.
