The Collection oj Woods 115 



Spanish Cedar. A large forest tree yielding a 

 very valuable wood used for the manufacture of 

 cigar-boxes, moth-proof chests, and other purposes. 

 The wood has a pleasant, lasting odor, and is never 

 attacked by insects. 



Tallow Tree. The seeds are covered with a 

 waxy layer which has been used for candles. 



Tree-Blueberrv. a tree thirty feet or more in 

 height, growing in the mountains. It differs from 

 the northern blueberries chiefly in size. 



Trumpet Tree. This tree has leaves resembling 

 those of the horsechestnut and the bark furnishes a 

 strong fiber which is used for ropes. The hollow 

 stems have been made into wind instruments, while 

 the wood easily ignites when rubbed and has been 

 employed for starting fires. 



Whitewood. a small tree growing in sandy 

 places, having small leaves and rounded red fruits. 



Wild Cotton. A small tree or shrub closely re- 

 lated to the cotton ordinarily cultivated. The flow- 

 ers are creamy-white except at the purplish base, at 

 length becoming pink.
