Paulownia leaf known is one that
grew on land adjoining the campus
of the University of North Carolina
in 1920. 1t measured thirty-eight
inches in it's largest dimension.
Paulownia leaves swo feet long are
of frequent occurrence on young
shoots. The Paulownfa is also
propagated from seeds sown in the
spring. 1t belongs. to the temper
ate zone, and grows as far north as
Montreal. 1t blooms before it leafs
in the spring. It's flowers, which
are of pale violet-purple color, are
very fragrant. In shape they re-

ariaceous family, which have proved
a puzzle to so many. and then go to
Lafayette Park and look at the ma
ture Paulownia and catalpa trees in
the southwest corner of the park.
