A very large rough barked tree with 

 fairly dense foliage Is a surface feeder 

 and sends out large roots to a distance 

 of 50 yards When left in virgin soil, 

 coffee will grow up to the very stem 

 and will frequently remain and prosper 

 but sometimes a complete circle dies 

 out and it is almost impossible to 

 grow vacancies it is well to remove 

 all Woodee trees before attempting 

 reclamation Shoots growing from the 

 long roots at a distance are frequently 

 mistaken for young trees they should 

 be always removed as useless. The 

 wood is perfectly indestructable ; saw- 

 yers refuse to saw it It is used for 

 beams and posts it has a fibrous tex- 

 ture and generally requires half a dozen 

 axes for each large tree, and probably 

 ruins them all. 



A Deciduous tree but one producing art 

 immense amount of vegetable manure. 

 Coffee prospers under its shade, though 

 such is indifferent. Timber useless 

 except for rough planks. The dry 

 bark of a felled tree becomes hairy and 

 readily enters the skin causing intoler- 

 able irritation and frequently ulcers 

 If used as firewood those all around 

 are annoyed with an affection consi- 

 derably worse than "prickly heat" 

 the whole skin being covered with 

 large blotches which smart, and if 

 scratched ; frequently turn into open 

 sores.
