Indeed, the pulp of the berry is a natural soap, and will make a lather almost like the manufactured article. The soap berry tree is now creating widespread interest and tAe berries are being imported from Algiers and China. It will pay to plant the trees and look after their cultivation. The product of the tallow tree also enters into the making of soap, and the two together make a nice combination, and their cultivation should be looked after by those Interested in new industries. Besides soap, the soap berries make a very fine oil, and when the virtues of the tallow tree are fully known, it may also yield a fine and profitable oil.
