EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS— ehtw. While the Australian 
Blue Gum will, in^ warm climates, grow eventually into a 
tree of enormous size, it is offered here because of its value

the seed is sown in pots the preceding autumn, and grown 
through the winter under glass, being then placed in the 
border after the worst freezes of spring are past. Pkt. 10c.

in flats or pots. A mixture of screened peat and sand 
is ideal, though not altogether necessary. Cover with panes 
of glass until germination takes place.
