A Rapid
lire of Australia, But Being Pro-
pagated Very Sativfactorily in
California.
The rapid development of the
Eucalyptus growing industry 111
California has been attracting much
attention of both the State and
Federal Forestry officials, and more
re( ently this interest has spread to
the point where many •'apitalists
are investing very largely.
With the one-time almost unlim-
ited forests of native hardwoods,
An:erica looked upon the Eucalyp-
tus simply as a supply for certain
oils for Medicinal purposes. and
but little attention was given to the
wonderful growth and the intense
hardness of many species of Eu-
calypts. Recent years, however,
have proven the fact that Eucalyp-
tus will grow in California as read-
ily as in its own native country of
Australia, and the following quota-
tion from "A Handbook for Eu-
calyptus Planters," issued by the
California State Board of Forestry
confirms this statement.
Page (33) Under favorable condi-
tions trees in seeding plantations
have reached a maximum develop-
ment of 5 inches in diameter and 67
feet in height in four years. This
rel.resents an average of 17 feet
height growth per year, though a
growth of 10 to 15 feet in height
yc arly is the general average. , , ,
th most rapid seedling growth
noted was Reade by a tree which in
nine years reached a height of 125
feel and a diameter of 36 inches.
The Eucalyptus is a remarkable
tree --remarkable from almost every
standpoint as compared with the na-
tive :American timber trees. It is
an evergreen. but a hardwood. It
is one of the hardest of hardwoods,
but is a more rapid grower than
an. of our native softwoods. As a
seedling it requires about as much
eat.' as a field of corn, and it grows1

Origin
The twenty-one thug fines now united

Each fine had acquired or developed a number of
valuable torntulm fur medicinal and toilet preparations,
ail of which became the property of the "National-.
Since the union our expert chemists have carefully
gone over these formulae and selected the best for the
NA -DRU -CO line. Every formula has been carefully
studied by these e=perts, improved if possible, and
uses thoroughly tented again. in actual use, before
we consider it good enough to bear the NA -DR(' -CO

Brain workers — School Teachers, l,a.vvers, Book-
keepers—as well as Society leaders and home worker;,
and everywhere the result was so good that we adopted
