Many of them are very strait,
and two Foot Diameter. They make good Trenchers, and other Turnery-Ware.
{Red-Bud.}
The Red-Bud-Tree bears a purple Lark-Heel, and is the best Sallad,
of any Flower I ever saw. It is ripe in April and May.
They grow in Trees, generally small, but some are a Foot Diameter.
{Pelletory.}
Pelletory grows on the Sand-Banks and Islands. It is used
to cure the Tooth-ach, by putting a Piece of the Bark in the Mouth,
which being very hot, draws a Rhume from the Mouth, and causes much Spittle.
The Indians use it to make their Composition, which they give
to their young Men and Boys, when they are husquenaw'd, of which you shall
hear farther, when I come to treat of the Customs, &c. of that People.
{Arrow-Wood.}
Arrow-Wood, growing on the Banks, is used, by the Indians,
for Arrows and Gun-Sticks. It grows as strait, as if plain'd,
and is of all Sizes. 'Tis as tough and pliable, as the smallest Canes.
{Chesnut.}
The Chesnut-Tree of Carolina, grows up towards the hilly Part thereof,
is a very large and durable Wood, and fit for House-Frames, Palisado's,
Sills, and many other Uses.
