Germain Seed Company, 326-330 South Main St., Los Angeles, Cal. 
EUCALYPTUS TREE SEED, Continued 
Rudls (Desert Gum). Highly recommended by 
Prof. A. .J. McClatchie, of the Experiment Sta¬ 
tion of Phoenix, Arizona, as a valuable vari¬ 
ety for arid regions, withstanding heat, cold 
and winds, unsurpassed by any other variety. 
Height 100 ft. Oz. $1, lb. $10. 
Sallgna (Weeping Gum). Very ornamental. 
Heaves and general habits are like the Baby¬ 
lonian Willow. Good for fuel. Height 75 ft. 
Oz. $1. 
Siderophlola (Dark, or Broad-leaved Ironbark). 
Wood very hard, light-colored and heavy, of 
great strength and durability, and is used for 
railroad ties, spokes, shingles, bridges, jetties, 
etc. It is stronger than hickory. As fuel, it 
gives more heat than any other kind. Height 
200 ft. Oz. $1. 
Stuartiana (Apple-scented Gum). A medium¬ 
sized tree with drooping branches. Good for 
fuel. Height 100 ft. Oz. $1. 
Sleberlana (Virgata) (Mountain Ash). Wood 
of excellent quality, strong and elastic, and 
may be used for all purposes where hickory 
and ash are at present used. It splits easily 
and is soft to work. Also a most excellent 
fuel. Grows on mountain tops and stony 
ridges, sometimes found in lowlands. Height 
150 ft. Oz. $1, lb. $12. 
TerefIcornlN (Gray Gum).. Short crop. A very 
handsome, large-growing variety. Wood dur¬ 
able and useful for shingles, flooring, etc.; 
also an excellent fuel. After years of close 
study and observation, Prof. McClatchie states 
he believes this tree to be superior to E. ros- 
trata, as it makes a straighter trunk and is 
a better grower. Height 200 ft. Oz. 75 cts., 
lb. $9. 
Yiininnlf.s (Manna Gum). A hardy, rapid-grow¬ 
ing variety, and well suited to exposed situ¬ 
ations. Height 300 ft. Oz. .75 cts., lb. $9. 
N. II. We are frequently asked to recommend 
a variety of the Eucalyptus. This we hesitate 
to do, as there are so many things to be taken 
into consideration, as climate, situation, soil, 
etc., but to give a general idea of their adap¬ 
tability, we might mention a few varieties that 
have particular merit: The E. rostrata, E. 
tereticornis (which, by the way, are practically 
the same, being but a slight botanical differ¬ 
ence), E. corynocalyx, E. Rudis and E. Polyan- 
thema being all very valuable and at the head 
of the list of our interior valleys, where heat, 
cold and dry winds are to be considered, and 
the timber of each being valuable, especially 
of tli e three first-named varieties. In such 
locations they will probably have to be reared 
under irrigation. Along the coast and in moist 
locations the list of available varieties is 
almost unlimited, and to a great extent will 
need no irrigation after established. The great 
variety of purposes the Eucalyptus family can 
be put to is unequaled, we believe, by any 
other species of trees. The subject is inex¬ 
haustible; for every purpose of utility that 
other timber is put to, the Eucalypt—some 
variety—is available, and its rapid growth and 
hardiness in semi-tropic climates renders it the 
most valuable species of timber tree on the 
globe.
