43837. Ceyptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don. Pinacese. 



An evergreen pyramidal tree, 100 to 180 feet high in Japan. The gen- 

 eral aspect of the tree is yellowish green in summer and dark green in 

 winter. It is one of the great timber trees of the world, more used in 

 Japan than any other. It likes a deep, good soil, a sheltered position, and 

 abundant rainfall. It is a variable tree. (Adapted from Bean, Trees 

 and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, vol. 1, p. 438.) 



43838. Cytisus nigeicans elongatus Borkh. Fabacese. Black broom. 



" Var. CarJieri Hort." 



A deciduous European shrub, from 2 to 4 feet high, with erect, pubescent 

 branches and long-stemmed leaves composed of oval, pubescent leaflets up 

 to an inch in length. The yellow flowers occur in very slender racemes 

 from 3 to 8 inches in length. This variety differs from the typical 

 species in that it blooms a second time in the autumn at the top of the 

 elongated fruiting racemes. (Adapted from Bailey, Standard Cyclopedia 

 of Horticulture, vol. 2, p. 9^8.) 



43839. Dectjmaeia sinensis Oliver. Hydrangeacese. 



A climbing shrub from central China with generally oblong or obtuse 

 leaves up to 3 inches in length and small white flowers in terminal 

 corymbs. The fruit is a capsule filled with numerous minute seeds. 

 This shrub is very ornamental because of its handsome, glossy foliage 

 and its white flowers, which are very fragrant. It thrives in almost any 

 humid soil and is propagated by greenwood cuttings in summer under 

 glass, and rarely by seeds. (Adapted from Bailey, Standard Cyclopedia 

 of Horticulture, vol. 2, p. 974.) 



43840. Deutzia hypoleuca Maxim. Hydrangeacese. 

 (D. discolor Maxim., not Hemsl. ) 



A Japanese shrub with sharp-pointed, serrulate, oval leaves with hairy 

 lower surfaces and flowers either solitary or in clusters of two or three. 

 The fruits are capsules about one-eighth of an inch long. (Adapted from 

 Maxinwwicz, Bulletin Academie Imperiale, vol. 32, pp. JtSl.) 



43841. DiEEViLLA coEAEENSis (Thuub.) DC. Caprifoliacese. 

 {D. grandiflora Sieb. and Zucc. ) 



A Japanese shrub from 6 to 10 feet high, with oval, long-pointed leaves 

 3 to 5 inches long, with bristly leafstalks. The flowers are pale pink at 

 first, changing to carmine, and are produced during June in corymbs of 

 three flowers each. (Adapted from Bean, Trees and Shrubs Hardy in 

 the British Isles, vol. 1, p. 491-) 



43842. DiEEviiXA japonica sinica Rehder. Caprifoliaceae. 



A shrub from central China, up to 20 feet high, with oval-oblong, serrate, 

 slender-stemmed leaves. The rose-pink bell-shaped flowers are usually 

 in 3-flowered cymes. (Adapted from Bailey, Standard Cyclopedia of 

 Horticulture, vol. 2, p. lOOS.) 



43843. DiEEviLLA middendoeffiana Carr. Caprifoliacefe. 



A low shrub from Siberia, northern China, and Japan, with serrate 

 leaves and yellowish white flowers which are spotted orange or purplish 

 inside and occur in small terminal or axillary clusters. It is hardy, but 

 rarely does well in cultivation and should have a cool and moist climate 

 and be sheltered from strong winds. (Adapted from Bailey, Standard 

 Cyclopedia of Horticulture, vol. 2, p. 1009.)
