WKITERS UPON EUCALYPTS. 23 



of the botanical portion and many of the illustrations were contri})uted 

 by the writer of this work. 



Mr. J. Burtt Davy, of the University of California, contributes the 

 article upon "Eucalyptus" in Volume II of Prof. L. H. Bailey's 

 Cyclopedia of American Horticulture. The article contains brief 

 botanical descriptions of 52 species, summarized from Baron von 

 Mueller's Eucalyptographia, and "verified by reference to herbarium 

 specimens wherever these were available." Some statements in this 

 article concerning the propagation of Eucalypts do not agree with 

 experience here in the Southwest, where the growing of seedlings is 

 not a simple matter.
