mill. 
I measured one tree on the grounds of Mr. Leibs in San Jose, which was five 
and one-half feet diameter and 175 feet high. This tree was thirty years old. 
Could be cut into 6,000 feet of lumber, worth $300, 100 trees to the acre bringing 
$3,000. 
AVENUE OF EUCALYPTUS. AT HOME OF CHARLES H. RODGERS, WATSONVILLE, CAL. 
(25 years from seed) 
At Watsonville T visited the residence of Mr. Charles H. Rodgers, the inside of 
which is finished with Eucalyptus. The finish is exquisite, and worthy of exten- 
sive use. The trees from which this lumber was made were planted by the family 
thirty years ago—one Red Gum, of this same planting, measures 175 feet high, 
five and one-half feet girth.
