 fr. globose, nut-like. In some 



iowish; sejials ;.: petal 



filaments nectariferous: 



species, small petaloid scales are found among the 



stamens. 



The soft white wood of several species is in great de 



mand for making fruit, honey and other light pack:iges. 



the facility with which the' wood is cut into veni'eis 



rendering it admirable for such use. The fibrous inner 

 bark is used as a tying ma- 

 terial and in the manufac- 

 ture of Russian bass or bast 

 mats. Extensively planted 

 as an ornamental tree and 

 for bee pasture. As a 

 source of honey supply per- 

 haps no other plant excels
