EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS. 65 



two acres of the growth will supply the family constantly for 

 fuel. Fresh growths start much more rapidly from the old 

 trunks, that were left after cutting the trees' down, than from 

 fresh plants. Ten acres of this tree were planted in Alameda 

 county, California, which at the end of seven years netted $i,- 

 190, and there were left 1,000 of the largest trees that w-ill in 

 a few years develop into some of the best kinds of wood for 

 manufacturing purposes. 



Some very fine specimens of Eucalyptus leaves were furnished 

 me for this article by Parke, Davis & Co.
