 that this tree will absorb a great deal of moisture, and destroys malaria, 

 improving sickly localities and rendering them healthy. The tree 

 grows very quickly, and there are many growing in this neighborhood, 

 some forty feet high. They do well here, but require to be protected for

 cover lightly and keep moist. Best to shade the boxes till the seed com-

 the desired place. It is best to start them in pots, as this facilitates
