. ALEURITES FORI) I I* GJROWN AT ORANGE. CAT. 
According to a photograph taken by Mr. E. H. Wilson of 
the Arnold Arboretum this wood oil tree on the Upper Yangtse 
is a beautiful ornamental when in bloom, being covered with 
large white blossoms. The Tung oil of commerce, reported- 
the best of all drying oils, is made from the seed. The, -V 
cultivation of the tree has economic possibilities wherever-- 
the freight rates are not too high and where the tree proves 
to be productive. One tree at Audobon" Park , New Orleans, 
yielded 56 nuts when 4 years old. Will probably not be hardy 
.north of Gulf States and California.
