The Tree of Heaven produces val- 

 uable hard, heavy and close-grained 

 wood of a pleasant clear yellow color, 

 resembling that of satinwood; It is 

 easily seasoned, and shows as little 

 tendency to shrink or warp as the best 

 mahogany. Beautiful furniture has 

 been made from Ailanthus-wood 

 raised in New England, and if the tree 

 Is ever grown on a large scale on the 

 sandy now unused lands of our sea- 

 coast it will supply the cabinet-maker 

 with wood which in quality and beau- 

 ty equals that of the White Oak, the 

 Bl§ck Walnut and the Wild Cherry. 



It is an interesting fact that al- 

 though the Ailanthus is now known in 

 all the countries of the world which 

 enjoy a temperate climate its true 

 home In China, that is the region 

 where it is a really wild tree, is still 

 unknown to Europe and American 

 botanists who have now traveled in 

 nearly all parts of the Celestial Em- 

 pire. Two other species of Ailanthus, 

 A. GiraUlii and A. Vilmoriniana. are 

 known, however, as wild trees in west- 

 ern China. The former which differs 

 in the presence of prickles on the 

 branches has not proved hardy in the 

 Arboretum; the other, which chiefly 

 differs from the common Ailanthus in 

 the downy covering of the young 

 branchlets, is now established here 

 but has not yet produced flowers or 

 fruits. — Arnold Arboretum Bulletin.
