Uruguay’s Gulden Tree.

By far the most beautiful of the trees of Uruguay, South America, is the mimosa. This tree is an evergreen, and grows to a height of about 40 feet. Even when not in flower it Is very handsome, onacconnt of Its dark green fern-like leaves and graygreen trunk. The flowers are like little balls of golden-yellow pollen, and they have a sweet scent. They cover the branches of the tree from top to bottom, and at a distance one would almost say the whole thing was made of gold, or had been transplanted from fairyland.
