" Grosella. Grows on a tree 13 feet high and 4 or 5 inches in diameter, the 

 branches beginning about 6 feet from the ground. The fruit grows from the 

 branches direct, in small clusters, entirely separated from the leaf branch. The 

 berry is prized very highly for jams and jellies." (Goding.)

Sugar cane. 



From Cienfuegos, Cuba. Presented by Mr. Robert M. Grey, superintendent. 

 Harvard Botanical Station. 



" Cuttings of a hybrid cane, the result of a cross between our field sugar cane 

 Saccharum officinarum L. 9 and Saccharum ciliare $ (S. P. I. No. 17991.) 

 In carrying on my hand hybridizing work (1909) among the canes I found S. 

 ciliare in flower and used the pollen on one of my seedling varieties of <S. offici- 

 narum, which resulted in the present cross. To be sure, it has no commercial 

 value, as it contains but little sugar, but it may be of interest to know that the 

 species will cross-fertilize." (Grey.)
