This is, perhaps, destined to be one of the lead- ing economic plants grown in Florida. Of im- mense value, the annual product selling for millions of dollars, and the demand constantly increasing ; we of the South must plant this raluable tree. Wide-spread interest is being manifested throughout the West Indies in this tree, and many are being planted, espe- cially in Jamaica and Grenada. The trees should be planted about 10 feet each way, and cultivated for 3 years. At the end of this period, if trees have made satisfactory growth (which they will do in eVen the whitest sand, "sand-soaked" soils, "flat-woods," "pine- barrens," or " hard-pan " lands), they are cut to the ground, and the bark by a simple process | stripped from the branches. The stocks sprout j like a willow, and succeeding years supply better bark from the rank water-sprouts. The tree is perfectly hardy and at home in Florida. We have a very large and fine stock of pot- grown plants. 18 inches to 2 feet, 25 cents
