E. Muelleriana. “Yellow Stringy-bark.” Mr. J. Black - 
burne speaks of the timber of this tree as follows: 
“A fence erected of this timber at Greemount near 
Yarram in Gippsland sixty years ago is at the pres¬ 
ent time sound and in use. The posts of another one 
on the old Cascade run (Gippsland) are still in good 
order after being in the ground for seventy years.”

E. calophylla. A moderate sized tree, thriving in warm, 
moist situations near the coast, but not enduring much 
cold. It is one of the most ornamental of the genus, 
has very large, glossy leaves and large clusters of 
white flowers which are valuable for bees. The wood

GENERAL LIST. 
All species except where otherwise noted can be fur¬ 
nished in packets at 15c each. Special quotations on 
large quantities on application. 
Eucalyptus amygdalina. “Peppermint Gum.” An ex¬ 
ceedingly tall growing tree, in fact to this species be¬ 
long probably the tallest trees in the world. Baron 
Von Mueller having recorded trees over 400 feet high 
and with diameters of 18 to 35 feet. The tree is 
very variable in growth, however, the great heights 
mentioned being attained in moist ravines, under less 
favorable conditions it forms a much smaller tree 
and in some cases is comparatively dwarf. The timber 
is useful for shingles, flooring, etc., but does not 
usually last well under ground. One of the most valu¬ 
able for oil, producing more volatile oil than any 
other species yet tested. Recommended for planting 
in swamp:/ places as a preventative icr yellow fever, 
etc. Oz 75c, lb $7.50. 
EUCALYPTUS ROBUSTA 
E. amygdalina, var. angustifolia. An ornamental vari¬ 
ety of somewhat weeping habit, with small, very nar¬ 
row leaves. Oz $2.00. 
E. Botryoides. “Bastard Mahogany or Bangalay.” 
Grows to a fairly large size, reaching 75 to 150 feet 
when fully grown. Of stately appearance with large,

E. citriodora. “Lemon-scented Gum.” A fast-growing 
species soon becoming tall and slender. In favorable 
situations it has attained a height of i; 0 to 100 feet in 
10 or 15 years. It thrives best near the coast, but will 
not endure much frost and is not adapted to the warm, 
interior valleys. The wood is strong and durable, use¬

ing, railway ties, bridge building, telegraph poles, also 
for inside work of houses, carriage building and rail¬ 
way cars. Oz $1.50. 
E. cornuta. “Yate Tree.” A medium size tree of fairly 
rapid growth. It endures high temperatures, tut not 
heavy frosts; thrives well near the coast and will en¬ 
dure the hot summers of the interior valleys. Grows 
remarkably well in alkali land. One of the best for 
shade trees. The wood is very hard and heavy and 
according to tests of the Australian Government is the 
strongest wood in the world. It is used for various 
artisans’ work and is preferred for the strongest parts 
of carts, wagons and other work requiring hardness, 
toughness and elasticity. Oz $1.00. 
E. corynocalyx. “Sugar Gum.” 120 feet. This tree suc¬ 
ceeds in a great variety of climates; thrives near the 
coast and does equally well in the interior and in the 
hot valleys of Arizona, but will not stand much frost. 
It is considered the most drought-resisting of all and is 
one of the best for planting on dry hillsides. The 
wood is one of the strongest and is very durable, use¬ 
ful for railway ties and underground ■ work. Oz $1.00, 
lb $9.00.

wood is hard, elastic and of a reddish color; very dura¬ 
ble under ground and used for railway ties, poles, 
piles, etc. Oz $1.00. 
E. diversicolor. “Karri Gum.” One of the most mag¬ 
nificent of all trees, specimens having been recorded 
in Australia nearly 400 feet high. It grows quickly 
and forms a straight trunk. Succeeds best in fairly 
moist situations near the coast and will thrive on al¬ 
kali land. It is also one of the most handsome for 
avenue planting. The wood is very strong and used 
for masts of ships, wagon building, etc. Oz $2.00.

one of the most important of the genus, also the fast¬ 
est growing of all. The usual height in Australia is 200 
to 300 feet. In California trees 30 years old have at¬ 
tained the height of 150 feet and a diameter of 3 to 
6 feet. It is usually of erect growth, succeeds best near 
the coast and on account of its rapid growth is prob¬ 
ably 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 any¬ 
thing requiring strength. It takes a fine polish. Oz 50c 
lb $5.00.

the coast regions. The timber is hard and tough, used 
for wheelwrights work and shipbuilding. Oz $1.00. 
. Gunni. (Tasmanian Cider Tree.) This is one of the 
hardiest of the genus. In its native habitats it grows 
in low lands where it forms a fair sized tree and some¬ 
times reaches 150 feet or more. It also ascends the 
mountains to an elevation of 5000 feet but here be¬ 
comes a dwarf tree or mere shrub. It is extremely 
hardy, growing where there is snow for several months
