1t has puzzled many to decide why the
dark wood so highly valued for pianos,
and in these times SO cleverly initiated,
should be called rosewood. It's color,
certainly, does not look like that of a
rose, but when the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood possesses a strong, rose-like
fragrance; hence the name. There are
half dozen or more kinds of rosewood
trees found in South America and in the
East Indies and neighboring islands.
Sometimes the trees grow so large that
planks four feet broad and ten feet in
length can be cut from them. These
broad planks are principally used to
make tops for piano fortes. When grow
ing, the rosewood tree is remarkable for
its beauty; but such is its value in manu-
factures as an ornamental wood, that
some of the forests where it once grew
abundantly, now have scarcely a single
specimen. In Madras the government
has prudently had great plantations OF
this tree set out in order to keep up the
supply
