NORFOLK PINE

Doing sentinel duty with the
Bunya-Bunya at Mirror Lagoon in
the Zoo grounds in. California is
a transplanted Norfolk Pine. 1t
seems none too happy, not having
that well-rounded look of exuberant
life seen in the pines of their ma
tive home the Norfolk Island, a
southwestern Pacific island which
lies about 400 miles north
west of New leland, not so very far
from Lord Howe Island This tree
is also a cousin of the Monkey
Puzzle Tree, since they are mem
bers of the evergreen family
Araucarias, and natives of the
southern hemisphere.
In its native home, the pine may
reach height of 200 feet
with a diameter of 10 feet. 1t IL
the unusual growing characteristic
OF the Norfolk Island pine that rec
commended 1t to landscape use In
southern California. Here 1t is g
favorite ornamental.
Normally the branches grow ir
groups of five. They extend from
the trunk at intervals of three feet
resulting in a tree with a conica
pagoda like form.
In order to have a Symmetrical
tree, one must start from the very
beginning with a seed. Because, II
you use cutting, you are sure tt
have tree that assumes a vertica
branch, somewhat fattened ano
completely without the desired
symmetry.
The main difficulty in propagatinf
the trees from seeds is that these
trees are not fruit producers II
cultivation. So, the seeds must b,
imported from their native land.
This is not an insurmountabl.
task and some 250,000 potted seed.
lings were imported into the United
States up to 1885. Most of the
specimens came from Ghent, Bel.
GUM.
The timber has gone into the
building of ships and for furniture
as we'll as other indoor work Where
better lumber can be had, these
trees are permitted to stand as at.
tractive ornamentals, which in it.

proper plural Of "tailor's goose?-
D. B. E.
Answer-A tailors goose Is q kind
Of smoothing iron. 1t gets its name
from its fancied resemblance in

rest plural is tailor's gooses. Like.
wise, the plural of mongoose Is not

word is a corruption of the Western
Indian word mungus.
Coral Gables: Here Is an ad OF a
private kindergarten that calls itself
an "Abecedary" The aptness of the
coined name intrigueS me.-Mrs.

rudimentary subjects. Abecedary is

"boughten"? Can one speak Of

Los Angeles: In our spelling class
we have been studying the word
espionage. What is the preferred
American pronunciation?-D. McF.
Answer-The dictionaries list three
pronunciations: O ESS-pee-uh-
nidge; (2) ess-pee-uh-NAHzH; (3
ess-PY- -uh-nidge.
My own notes indicate that ESS-
pee-uh- -nidge is heard only occa-
sionally; that ess-PY-uh- h-nidge is
quite obsolete; that the Standard
American pronunciation Is: ESS-
pee -uh-nahzh; or, less frequently:
ESS-pee-uh-NAHzH.
