Mr. J. Blackburne, Forest Inspector of Marybor- 
ough, Victoria, Australia, speaks of this tree as 
follows: "It produces a clean, sound wood, much 
esteemed for the construction of wharves, jetties 
and bridges. It grows to large dimensions. Trees 
are to be found in South Victoria containing 20,000 
feet super of timber. It furnishes also good railway 
sleepers and street paving blocks. This Eucalyptus 
grows naturally near the coast and is never found 
far inland." Pkt. 15c, oz. $1.50.

E. DIVERSICOLOR. "Karri Gum." One of the most 
magnificent of all trees, specimens having been re-

succeeds best near the coast and on account of Its 
rapid growth is probably the most profitable tree 
to plant. The wood is durable above ground; large 
quantities of it have been sawed at San Jose, Cal., 
for felloes, poles, reaches and singletrees of wagons, 
flooring. Insular pins and anything requiring
