make the tree a valuable ornamental. It 
thrives best in well-drained sand-clay loams. 
The tree is reported to live to the age of 30 
years or more. The apple-like fruits contain 
several large nut-like seeds which yield the 
valuable tung oil or China wood oil of com¬ 
merce, ust'd extensively in paints and varn¬ 
ishes. Commercial plantings should he con¬ 
fined to cheap lands, as the probable yield of 
oil will not pay for the use of more valuable 
ones. Experimental plantings of this tung 
tree have been started in Florida, Georgia, 
Alabama and South Carolina. It is quite 
distinct from the Candlenut Tree (Aleurites 
moluccana), in being hardier and deciduous. 
This tree is becoming very popular as an or¬ 
namental. It is perfectly hardy at Augusta.

and desirable shade trees for avenue or street
