 1901), May 24, 1901. 



"A rapidly growing, hard- wooded tree which is easily propagated by root cuttings. 

 It is a pretty ornamental for warm regions, with delicate foliage of light green, and 

 it is looked upon by the gardener near Cairo, Mr. Stamm, as one of the most promis- 

 ing avenue trees in Egypt. Personally I find that its shade-giving properties are too 

 scanty to recommend it for this purpose. It will do well as a park or garden tree, 

 however. It requires plenty of water and warmth." (Fairchild. )
