Red Gum Popular.

Red gum wood is very popular as
finishing wood in hospitals, be-
cause it is entirely odorless. and
the grain is very close, making the
wood very aseytic. A minimum of
resinous substance in the wood
likewise makes it particularly well
adapted to take paint. There is
never any danger of the rosin or
sap coming through to spoil the
decorated surface when finished.
