Book excerpt: Excerpt from Additional Facts and Information in Relation to the Catalpa Tree: Catalpa Bignonioides and Its Variety Speciosa When first informed that the catalpa, a tree I had been familiar with on our streets for more than thirty years, possessed the power to resist decay to a wonderful degree, I was so impressed with its great economic value that I deemed it very important that a knowledge of its very valuable properties should become widely extended. I have devoted what time I could command from the supervision of a large manufacturing business, for the last eight years, to gathering and publishing, from time to time, such facts and information as I have been able to obtain on this subject. A year ago, at the request of the president of a leading railroad, I published these facts and information in pamphlet form. Since then Ihave been greatly encouraged and aided in its general circulation by Dr. Jno. A. Warder, President of the Ohio Horticultural Society and of the American Forestry Association, and Prof. C. S. Sargent, Director of the Botanic Garden and Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, and many others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
