EUCALYPTUS. 



EUCALYPTU6 DORATOXYLON, 



Eucalyptus doratoxylon is a slim, but very pretty 

 growing tree. It is the favorite source of spear wood for 

 the Australian natives and derives its common name from 

 this reason. 



This tree, with Eucalyptus pilularis which is still more 

 elegant, and one might say stylish, should, be marked as 

 useful for special places in ornamental plantings. The 

 wood of both trees is tough, durable and useful. A fair 

 specimen is growing at the Heights. Another tree of 

 similar tall and slim habit is 



EUCALYPTU6 MACULATA l/AR, CITRIODORA, 



This is a fast growing tree of tough and durable tim- 

 ber. The leaves when crushed have a strong lemon scented 

 odor suggesting hair oil but withal pleasantly. The young 

 growth is hairy and the leaves spring from the stems with 

 about one-quarter of their length inside that is, the stem, 

 instead of having the leaf grow from its end has the leaf 

 over it, one-quarter on one side and three-quarters on the 

 other; what botanists call peltate or shield like.
