The case is similarto that of the orange tree, which, though thriving in the vicinity ofPhoenix can not be easily grown there from seed. As a rule, however,Eucalypts that are well adapted to a region and thrive in it seem tobe fairly easy to propagate there. The ease with which seedlingscan be grown in any region ma}^ often, therefore, Ije taken as anindication of how well the adult trees will grow there. Eucalypts are not commonly propagated in open soil, but in seedboxes, and ordinarily they need some protection from cold and fromthe sun during their early stages. Most species make a slow growthat first and are quite delicate, but when o
