. American forest trees, by Henry H. Gibson;. Trees; Timber. 562 American* Forest Trees numerous kinds of novelties. Spindles for grills and stairways do not suffer in comparison with black walnut, mahogany, cherry, and teak. The wood is porous, annual rings narrow and indistinct, and the medul- lary rays thin and inconspicuous. A variety {Prosopis juliflora glandulosa) is found from Kansas to eastern Texas, and also in Arizona and California. It is the common mesquite of eastern Texas. Another variety (Prosopis juliflora velutina) occurs in some of the hot valleys of southern Arizona and southward in Mexico. Screwbean (Prosopis odorata) is known also as screwpod mesquite, and tornillo. The name is due to the pod's habit of growing in spiral form, there being a dozen or more tight twists. The flowers appear in early spring and new crops follow until summer. The pods ripen early in autumn or late in summer, and many become in- fested with grubs. The tree is from twenty-five to thirty feet high, and a foot or less in diameter. Its range extends from western Texas and Utah and Nevada through New Mexico and Arizona to southern California. The wood is stronger and stiffer than common mesquite, but a little lighter. Its uses are much the same, and it has the same habits of growth, including its disposition to develop enormous roots. The name might lead to the conclusion that the flower is rich in perfume, but such is not the case. The tree grows slowly and lives to old age, if it escapes fire and other accidents. Chalky LEUCJJNA (Leucana pulverulenta), commonly called mimosa, occurs in the United States only in southern Texas, but is somewhat abundant in Mexico, where trees sixty feet high and nearly two feet in diameter are sometimes manu- factured into lumber. Along the Rio Grande it is called "tepeguaja" by Mexicans. This name is said to be equivalent to "hardwood, " which is an appropriate name. It is very smooth and handsome when finished, and is u
