THE PAPAW TREE IS HIGHLY ORNAMENTAL 
It is worth growing around any home, merely for its beauty. Those who know the tree only 
as it grows in dense thickets can hardly realize what an attractive form it develops when 
standing by itself and given some care. Its glossy leaves, not unlike those of a magnolia 
in appearance, attract the eye; even without the added charm of its flowers and fruit, 
it would be worth a much more conspicuous place in American horticulture than it now 
holds. The tree can be grown without much difficulty from seed, and is easily grafted.
