The Campbor Tree or Camplior Laurel of China and Japan from which the trnm camphor of commerce is obtained. A beautiful evergreen, hardy in the lower Gulf states. Leaves smooth and a rich shining green, the newer growth tinged with a heauti- ful wine color, mak- ing a striking con- trast. One of the most symmetrical trees im- aginable, forming a perfect cone from the ground to the sum- mit.

Maybe wintered in the cellar. Fine plants, 25c. each ; extialarge and fine, by express, 40c. each. Cinnamon Tree. {Cinnaniomum Zeylanicum.) The bark from the young shoots of this tree forms the cinnamon of commerce, and the leaves yield a fragrant oil. It is perfectly hardy in the South and should be planted both for its usefulness and beauty. It is perhaps' destined to be one of the leading economic plants grown in Florida. Of immense value, the annual product sell- ing for millions of dollars, and the demand constantlv in- creasing. Everybody in Florida should plant at least one, for it will grow in the whitest sand, "sand-soaked " soils, "flat-Avoods," "pine barrens,''or "hard-pan" lands. When planted three years they can be cnt back and the bark striped from the branches for use. And as a pot or tub plant for the North it will prove very interesting as well as beautiful.
