This is quite as handsome a shrub as the staghorn and is preferable for ornamental planting. It does not grow quite so large and has a more spreading irregular habit. It only rarely in northern Vermont but is common in the Hoosac and southern Connecticut valleys. A cut-leaved form of this species is also found in the trade. The leaves were formerly used for tanning, and the berries, be- cause of their acidity, were employed as a substitute for lemon juice in vari- ous domestic practices and in the prep- aration of home remedies. The ber- ries are used in dyeing, an infusion being said to furnish an unequalled black dye for wool. There is also a dwarf sumach (Rhus copallina) which is of value in ornamental planting. It thrives in light sandy soils. Growth of Trees.

According to a writer In Forest Leaves the time required for various kinds of trees to reach a diameter of 12 inches is as fol- lows: pin oak 40 years, black oak 50 years, red oak 58, white oak 100, sweet gum 62, vv-alnut 56, tulip tree 50, black locust 45. ash 72, hickory 90, catalpa 20.
