TREE HAS "CANDY" FLOWERS
Indian Product That Rivals the "Gin-
gerbread House" of the Remem-
bered Fairy Tales.

We have all read the story of the
gingerbread house in the fairy tales.
Well. there is a family of trees in
India that have "candy" flowers, or
the next thing to it. These trees are
known as the ''BasSia'' trees, and of
the three important kinds, two have
sugary flowers and the third is called
the .'Indian butter tree" The petals
of the flowers tire rich in sugar and
drop from the tree in the early morn
ing. They are picked up by the won-
en- and children and are spread out
on mats to dry in the sun. A single
tree will furnish 300 pounds of flow
ers in a year. When fresh, the flowers
are very sweet and taste much like
figs. They are eaten fresh or cooked
with rice, shredded coconut. or flour.
The seeds of the butter tree are full
of oil, and this oil is used to make n
kind of butter. and also for soap and
candles.-POpular Mechanics Maya
